�The }unior Class History
Office of the ''Knocker," 23 Liberty

t.

Dear Annual: Tour imitation to write th J nnior l'la IIi tory wa brought
to the Knocker' office thi morning by Bobbie ~\llen and Wm. King. The Knocker
is in a quandary. Had the imitation b Pn brought by a r -.ponsiblc committee the
honor would have been highly appreciated. A it i , the l nocker think the joke
i@ on itself. 'l'he Knocker doe not mind slamming the . chool at large but concentrating the fire of its pen on 1910 •em::- to it lik turning a ratlintT gun oli
Trunk'::; alarm watch. The Knocker, however, i nothing if not oblicring, and is
ever ready to li ten to the 'oice of duty.
1910 i fortunate in it environment. It i" bordered on one ide by perfection,
1909; on the other by promi~e, 1911. The two remaining ides border on pace.
One of th • prominent characteri.;;ties. inte it. organization, ha been it· paciouanes.. It- ela:' motto--"To aim at nothing i, not to fail"-reflccts it mental fiber.

The clas of 1910 are the " ever weat..;;" of the chool.
on picuou in inaction, inton.picuou.: in action. Here you have it in tabloid form. Without 1910,
flunking would be a thing of the pa~t.
The characteri tic of the cla::-::-, a. iuc from ~;paciou n :-- , arc nmity, immaturity
and love for fu sand feather..
peaking of Fu. (incr), well, of all the fu er that
ever came to Ea. t enver, we will give it to 1!HO for having the mo t con picuous
failures a fu.ser -for example, Bud and Herbert \Yilkin . 'Iho. two . elf- tyled

with pink lemonade for a . ea~on' tour.
ixteenth and tout or apitol HilL wherec\·er they go, they l&lt;'av a train of lemon p el behind them.
Yan chaack tried to get pointer from them, but they failed with the fair.
'erYed you right Van. Xe\.t time yon want pointer gPt tlwm from Van Law or
Hobby-hor. e in the senior cia. s.
The most popular fu. ser in 1910 i Dorsey Davi . Hi. greatest ncces , in fact,
his only succe ., ha been with girl~ in short dre !'-el:'. J..Totice him on a unday
afternoon when the children arc going home from unday chool.

�The tnwk sea:-on that ha~ just pa,sed wa, not a de&lt;"ided . tteec~..; for Ea~t Denver,
nor wa it a failure. \Ye nwt the Freshmen o( the University of olorado on )farch
2~th, and haa a deci::;i\e def&lt;'nt handed to u ; but we were cxp •cting thi , with our
star athlPt , YandPmocr, out or it and the r ::;t · of the team made up of "green"
men. The collp~e boys had almost everything their own way. We took our defeat
like true . port~men, fe ling we were defeated, not by men of our own ability, but
by tho:-e who were more •xp&lt;'ri&lt;&gt;nced. and b0tter train d than we wer . The next
nH•et we entered wa the one h •ld among the enver IIicrh chools. In thi we
were victoriou~, winning with a large margin. The Ia t one of the . &lt;'a,.on, but not
the lea t in importance, wa the one held in Boulder on May 16. W • made a game
fight for thi and hould have won it could we have had a fre h man for the relay
team. Two of th m&lt;'n on thi team broke Rtat&lt;' r &lt;"Orc1. : the 100-\ lHd da h wa cut
down to 10 .econd b.'· andemocr, and th&lt;' 220-yarcl hurdle wa. 'rut at 27 ::;econd
by Woodward. This wa. tiH' first time that the HP&lt;l ana Whit waR made to play
second fiddle, a we had won all the meet held at Boulder hdorc this time.
The track and fi&lt;'ld athlc tic in Ea..;t Dl•mcr for the coming year had a very
good beginning, .'atunlny. .\ pril 3rd. wlwn the annual cro~ -country run wa
made. It wa' O\'c•r tlw I empr Uniwrsib· cour:-P nncl wa made in ven fa t time.
The fir..;t man to fini:-h for Enst D 'nrer 'wa:- Tobin. and he wa· s t·onc'I one of all
the "&lt;"hool..; entc•r0cl to fini:-h. One of our m&lt;'n wa:- third to fini~h. coming in about
'?00 y:p·,ls nlwa&lt;l of hi~ do:-e=-t follower. .\ 11 of the ".\.ngelf;" finished and they were
not all in-down :mel out-wlwn th&lt;'Y cro~. eel the lin&lt;', 0ithPr. When the total numbt·r of points wa finally Jigured out it was found that Ea:-t Denver came out econd,
the f:nme pla&lt;·c that we haYe had in year~ lwn•tofon•. Our t0am wa &lt;'Ompof'ed of the
following men: Banks. LC'ac·h. Traylor, Parkin. on. ~ l cKec. tuart, Taylor, Tobin

1656 GRADUATES

cbool, G R EETING:

The Univer ity of Denv r will naturally become more and more the Cniversity
tor young people m and near Denver. We have now more gr.1duates residing in
D enver than any other two educational institutions. s~ per c nt of the students at
Col u mbia live within fifty miles of New York.
More than half the students at H arvard Ii·ve within fifty miles of Cambridge. Why should any student in or near D enver go away from home to tudy? N o college can offer more thoro work than we are
givinrr at l!niversity Park. The in truction you are offered at horne is as good in
qualit) as the best instructiou you are offered away from home. Then remember that
we offer every day ten times more courses of study than any student can possibly take.
A student who can leave home in th morning and enjoy the discipline of college life
during the day and then return home in the evening. has the best po sible opportunity
to develop intellectual and moral power. Moral health i of more consequence than
intellectual acuten
in the race of life. Do not fcHget that.
H oping to see you at Univer ity Hall on our opening day in eptember, I am
Yery sincere Iy,
H~:. RY A. BurHTEL, Chancellor.

Why a Knowledge of
Shorthand Pays
Edward Bok, editor of the Ladie ·' H ome .Journal. who began his career as a
stenographer, has thi to say regarding the valu of. horthand:
··The value of horthand to young men i ~ that it is apt to place them often in a
position of confidence, and brings them into d1rect contact with their employers, thus
giving them an insight into th inner workings of a business which they could
scarcely obtain in any other way."
Y oung men who are keen obsen ers of business conditions are studying shorthand. T here is no better stepping stone to position of tru t and remuneration.
Summer Term Opens Monday, June 7th.

of young heart made happy early in thi month of flower , a they receive te timonial of indu try and faitbfulne in chool or colle e and embark upon life'
real work with earne tne. , enthu ia m, and the benediction of a doting public!
Our college and universitie re mi hty and grand, but our public. chool alone make
them po ible and proclatm our national character. The .chool life of the average pupil
ompa e a period of about twelve year . Is it not fitting then at the end of o long a
time that those who have traveled the road hould be joyou and triumphant? Then, let
there be merrymaking. Among other enterprises of the cia e of '94, the one of publi bing
thi
1emorial i the mo t remarkable. In only two other citie -Boston and Chicago- have
the public school issued "annuaL." D over's High chool have cooperated in thts work, and
the result is before the reader. The East Denver High chool i attended by nearly six hundred
pupils; the graduating class of the pre ent year numbers one hundred and twelve. \Vest Denver High
chool, Di trict o. 2, graduates twenty-five, and the • orth Denver cbool thirteen. In thL Annual
each chool i given eparate repre. entation, the literary matter for each chool being compiled by an
editorial board of the clas . Though undertaken at a late date and ha tily is ued, it i hoped that thi
book will meet with the approval of all tho e who are or have been students in the High chool of

�History
Four years we have truggled valiantly with mathematics and cience, stopping occa ionally
to ma ter Cicero, Xenophon, chiller or Goethe, and now as we stand tremblingly on the thre hold
of the future, let u
Pau e, with our thoughts turning backward once mor&lt;',
To give a farewell to the pa t .

o often have we pau cd in our hurry to pre the hand of clas mates who have left our rank
or to linger at the graveside and pay a tribute to the memory of tho. e who have been called to the life
beyond, that of the cia of three hundred and four girl and boys as fair and a brave a ever entered
the e cla ic balls but one hundred and twelve reruain.
L~l u

rev1ew the scene,

And summon from the hadowy past
The forms that once have been.

At times the quiet course has been enlivened by the victories of our cla. smates. In our first year
there came a forerunner of our grand achievement . Iren.! Viancourt captured the \\'olcott medal for
reading. The next year, Ruth Cleaveland fuil id~m. During our fourth year, tVIo prize have been
appropriated by member of our cla. s, Harry Frueanff winning the ·woodbury medal for declamation,
and Arthur ye the Baker medal for excellence in debate. \\'e look with admiration and wonder on
the ucce of our weet-voiced singer, uelaide Beard ley, who ha won her way into the heart of
everyone by the purity and strength of her voice. With her song he ba delighted many an audience,
and has received well-merited reward in the appreciation of her bearer . But not alone on the ro trum
and in the concert hall ba our clas become famous. Who that cares for athletic sports ha not heard
of Hamlin Mann on the diamond, or of the succe s of Harry mith, Clark, Wanle. s, and Bellow on
the foot-ball team? In the social world our succe s ba been phenomenal. The members of no other
cla shave been bidden to o many office reception , to say nothing of the side entertainment provided
for our especial plea ure by the teachers. Among the many social and secret ocietie existing in the
cla may be mentioned the Latin I. E. D., the Alpha, and the I. 0. D. of our tal wart clas ica1s, and
the K. C., upported by the boy of the German. During these four year , the gay and frivolous boys
and girls, fresh from the graded chool , have been tran formed into a grave and dignified fir t class.
Our po ition is defined by our Pre ident in his inaugural addre s.
aid be: "We are the lords of
creation. The world is at our feet. Let us keep it there. \Ve are the life of the school. But for us the
doors would creak on ru ty hinge , the ball become de erted, piders would weave their webs over
mu ty volumes in the library, and crows would build their ne ts in the hair of the dozing faculty."
ow, as the door to life stand open before us, we would loiter on it&amp; threshold, but eager '95
crowd u on, and we can but pau e an in tant ere we tep aero to expre our appreciation of the
guiding care of our teachers, and mingle with their farewells the cry
Long live the D. H.
Long live '94 I

"We do not plant this tree in a hou e where it will be protected from the sc&lt; rching summer's

�The Lyceum Society

"?T"" HE Lyceum Literary ociety date its birth from October 3d,

1 76- the a me year that the
Centennial tate was admitted to the Union. The fir t meeting was held in the old Arapahoe
chool house, which is now but a memory of the past, and who e huge iron bell i now to be
een on the lawn in front of the pre ent High chool. The charter members included uch youths a
Irving Hale and Robert W. teele, men whose influence ha since been f~lt in the community.
The ociety had a flourishing existence even before the fir·t cia s graduated. Much of it
progre.s i due to three incidents in the early history of the High chool.
lr. James H . Baker, now
Pre ident of the Univer ity of Colorado, but then at the head of the school, offer d a prize for excellence in debate. The first conte twa won by John Hipp.
1r. R. \V, Woodbury offereci a prize to the
best boy speaker, and Mr. H. R. \Volcott to the be tgirl speaker. As the practice gained in the regular
work of the Lyceum was of invaluable aid in
these contests, interest in the Society rapidly
grew in the chool, and in 1886 1t \\as conidered advisable to divide the ociety and
form a new one. Accordingly, a number of
the staunchest members of the old Society
formed themselves into a new organization
called the Attic.
The two Societie soon became active
rivals, which promoted a great improvement in
the quality of the work done by the members
of each.

The Attic Society

J

T IS claimed by many of the teachers
of the High School that more good is
obtained from the literary societies than
from any one study in the school. For many
years, one ociety was able to care for all those
who wished to spend ome tirue in equipping
themselves to appear in public, but after the
new building was completed and the school
became larger, it became necessary to form a
new Society, and the presen~ prosperous Attic,
with its one hundred and fifty members is the
result. As the result of efforts begun in the
Tnr: FooT BALL T•·.A:&gt;~ , I:AST Dcsn :Jt
High chool ociety, the Lyceum and Attic
join hands, and each proudly claims a share of the honors that the worlu out,it.le tile High chool have
showered upon such member a Hon. John Hipp, Irving Hale, Robert W. Steele, Alice Ea twood,

We must not fail to mention some of the members of our Society of the present year. Irene F.
Viaucourt bas graced the platform at every public meeting but one since she entered the school, and
alone enjoy the honor of serving two terms as Secretary. Ade!aide Beardsley, a a singer, stands without
a peer in her cia s work. Among the debaters and parliamentarians should be mentioned Arthur M.
ye, \Valstein Haas, and T. Matteson Mallory, all of whom participated in the prize debate this year.

�Foot Ball

hJ\. ORE interest has been felt by members of our school
l.IIJ this year in all athletic sports (e pecially foot ball ) than
ever before. All the games have been well attended by
partie from the school, and many teachers bowed their appreciation of the boy ' efforts by their pre ence on the field.

The interest the boys took in their work aud the systematic
way they went about it under the supervision of their coach,
Louis Witko ki, made them what they were-the pride and honor
of all members of the Denver High chool. The only defeat suffered in a match game was in the last
one of the ea on with the eleven from the Golden High School by a score of 12 to 4· The first game
was played at the Broadway Athletic Park with the Golden High chool ancl won by our boy by a
score of 42 to o ; the second, at Boulder, with the tate Preparatory chool eleven was won by a score
of 14 too; the third, with the orth Denver bo) s, only lasted one-half, at the end the score being
16 too in favor of the East Denver ; the fourtll and last game was lost to Golden under circum tances
which made deieat almost excusable. The High School has good reason to be proud of its foot ball
team of '93 and '94 which bas borne its colors to so 1uany brilliant victories and won for the school a
high place in amateur foot ball circles.

Base Ball
THE early part of the season, when t.nthu iasm in base ball became manifest, it was the belief
of the captain and manager of the High chool team that they would be unable to organize a
team whose success and achievements would compare favorably with the record of previous
High chool clubs. However, under the critical supervision of Captain Harker and Coacher Funke,
the club of this year has exceeded all expectation and has justly received the heartiest applau P at
every game. We may attribute much of our success to our young and almost phenomenal pitcher,
Harry Canby. By his puzzling curves he has baffied the efforts of some of Denver's most skillful
batters.
1r. Canby is carefully supported by Herbert Herr behind the bat and an almo t perfect infield
with Hamlin 1ann on first base, Dwight Johnston on econd, Fritz Harker on third cu bion and Will
Hodges at hort stop. Fly ball and grounder sometimes pas these players only to be well received
and delivered by a good outfield, having Glen Latimer iu the center, Adelbert 1itchell in left and John
Bo in right. The manager was Kyle Rucker and Messrs. Meldrum and Wanless were substitutes.

�The High Scheol Cadets

J

T I

impos ible to e timate the enthusiasm of the Cadets of predous years in the East Denver
High School. Certain it is that the Cadet of '91 believes him elf the most favored and illustrious that ever " fronted" and "wheeled" before the admiring eyes of the world-the eyes
pf the fair feminine world e pecially. It is true our campaigns were restricted to routing imaginary
foes, and to expedition of ten or twelve miles, when we went into camp with more discipline than a
regiment of Regulars. But on exhibition days we drilled with a magnificence that sent chagrin and
envy deep into the souls of the boys who had not the grandeur of brass buttons.
Of cour e, we all longed for an opportunity to distinguish our elves, and under this bright sky,
the tingling air eemed a direct breath of in piration from tho e old snow-crowned veterans, the
mountains, who tood grim guard along the western horizon. The adventure of the "Three Guardsmen" for a time held a place that no other book would supply. For, old-fa hioned and middle-aged
as it was, we who read it felt a high scorn of the days in which
we lived, and a resentment toward the fate that had cast our
hves in them.
\Ve longed to do something gorgeously
demonstrative, and the nearest possibility was a wish to challenge the little fellow who was always "cutting" drill. Thi
would have been mo t unmilitary, however, and we had to
content our elves with a court-martial instead of an encounter,
in which we intended to come off covered with blood and glory.
o much for fancies! In very reality we have had a
y~ar of most profitable work and delightful comrade hip, that
will make each one of us wish to put further away the time for
the last handshake on the Ia t day of thi , a red-letter year in
our live .
On the 24th day of May, we celebrated the tenth anniver ary of the organization by a formal battalion inspection, in
which General McCook, of the Department of Colorado, U. . A.,
officiated. He spoke in a very complimentary manner of the
general appearance of the companies, and by hi incere and
pleasant critici ms encouraged both officers and men in obtaining a higher ideal of perf&amp;tion.
The list of the member of the organization is a long
ot~e, but will probably intere t the friend of the chool.

HOOL

�Yet all was not ea y; unlearned les ons, long hour~ after school, thoughtless trick~. unlawful
fun - all had their part iu the t&gt;arly history of tl!e Class of '95. Troubles we had, too. Why would we
stumble over the deceitful matting at the door of the As~embly Room~ Why would tl!ey persist in
calling us" the infants?" Poor little fourth cia ! though your joys are many, it is} our fate to he
humiliated. Then the curtain was rung down upon one )·ear' act in our little drama of High School life.
During this year, we firmly established our reputation as students, and settled dowu to work.
Busy brains fathomed old Cre ar's most difficult passages, and bright minds mastered pl!ysic completely. Why, we even weut so far a toe tabli b a new formula for "Energy;" and by tl!e end of the
year, had di tingui bed ourselves in the class room and on the athletic field.
econd class pupils have ranked high in everything; second class work lias been prai ed and
lauded, and each day bas brought forth something to add to our glory. Let us recall briefly some &lt;Jf
the things iu which we l!ave gained celebrity.
First, a to the two different divisions. Though a Classical, and justly proud of her own order,
the historiau is fully aware that the Generals bold equal honors.
It eems as though the spirit of Alexander has pervaded the Greek clas~, for besides the completion of the Anabasis, it has "sighed for more worlds," and has conquered the Yale, Harv.1rtl aud
Wellesley examinations with wonderful success. One enjoyable feature of this class is its ociability.
As a member said: "We are one large family, with Mr. Libby at the head ." Whether Mr. Liuby is
as proud as we are of thi distinction, it is not for us to say.
We are proud to say that the four strongest players in the base ball nine are "our boys." Hodges
as short stop is excellent. His knowledge of geometry enables him to calculate the distance to first
base so accurately. Velocity, momentum, and other physical matters are so familiar to him tbat the
number of base hits of the opposing nine is reduced to the infinite imal. Latimer has sbown so much
ability that his accurate center-fielding and safe hitting have become almost proverbial. Tl!ree cheers
for Glen! Even if the score book does prove more intere ting at times thau Cicero's oration , and if he
does hit a ball oftener than the meaning of Xenophon's translations, we will forgive him. Captain
Harker, at third base, adds lustre to the "diamond;" Herr sticks close to the bat, and woe betide
the player who attempts to steal a base.. The foremost players of the foot ball team are members &lt;Jf
the second class, wbile the Cadet organization has many representatives among '95· Regarding the
literary societies, we can rightly claim the best talent in both oratory and ess~y writing. \Ve also take
pride in having the two recognized authorities on parliamentary law.
Have we not talent? Have we not the promise of a glorious future? Ab, in after years, our
voices shall be heard from the pulpit, the platform, tl!e senate, the court-room, and the school! Our
names shall be placed on the roll of fame, and our good deeds will stand as monuments. "One heart,
many ways!" May the class motto be
verified in after years, when, scattered
and distant, this tie of friend hip shall
serve to keep fresh the sweet memory of
the Classicals of '95 !

Class History of '96
~ A T year Fourth Clas , this year Third Clas !

What a hort time, yet what migbty results!
The first morning, as we marched tremuling up to the A embly Room as Fourth Clas , we felt
privileged only to be in it. The dignity and intellect of the First Class awed us; the econd
Class were too near them to cause us any vulgar competition; but the Third Class~ah, we re,erenccd
them. \Vere they not our intellectual superiors and moral advisers? EYeD their looks of disdain were
a condescension on their part, gratefully receiYed. "Time in its rapid flight" launched us from the
Fourth Class of '93 into the bosom of '94· In Physics we learned that much Light was thrown on
many subjects; that sounds were nothing but waves; that Buo~eo's burner didn't smoke; and that
gas was natural and necessary. In visiting the colrl storage we found that the turkeys were not for
souvenirs, so there was no thanks-given. In the Sheridan Building we found that electro-j.Jlates were
not to be eaten from, and when visiting the power house that free rides \\ere not given with information.
• Geometry taught us that all propositions were not to the fair, whiie from Cresar we learned bow to
conquer Gaul. Rhetoric teaches you that it is meet to study well the use of feet. One of the most
powerful speakers chosen for the Prize Deoate was Herbert Belford, but owing to illness was unable to
be there to receive the prize. We hope that tho e who come after will strive to emulate our shining
example and learn as we have that the four stages of High School life have been exemplified by
hakespeare's plays: Fourth Class-" Comedy of (T) Errors"; Thud las~-" Much Ado About
othing "; Second Class-" As You Like It"; First Class-" All's Well That Ends \\'eii."-L. JJ.f. B.

Class History of '97

7J+J'f1 E, the cla s of '97, have but launched our ship on the great ea of education. Our history is
~

only just begun. Already a great deal bas happened to make us an important element in
our chool, and this gives us the as urance that we are destined to have a remarkable career.
At first we were greatly burt by the cutting remarks of the upper cla ses, who never seemed to
remember that once they, too, were "green and youthful kindergartners." However, by this time we
have proved to them that our ability reaches far and wide. Originally we numbered three hundred,
but ixty-three of our number have gone to the Manual Training chool. We have distingni bed
ourselves as actl\e members in the school societies and have displayed our talent on many occa ions.
Among us may b~ found a Patti, a Paderewski and many an orator who bids fair to become as great as
Demo thems. Finnerty well represented us in the Woodbury Contest, and Mamie McCallin won the
Wolcott pnze . Our Freshman da) s are numbered.
ext year we ball occupy Third Cia s places. Let
us aim high f&lt;Jr succtss and know no faihug.

The greater part of the hi tory of the class of '94 i a record of peace and harmony, with scarcely
a dark day to shadow the happiness of its thirteen members.
Since its entrance, it has always been a potent factor of the North Side High chool. When
their wonderful ability was known, the Club and Lyceum were equally d,.sirous of showing their appreciation and of conferring their highest offices upon us . In the fall 1 go, forty-four boys and girls
entered the assembly room as full fledged members of the High chool. They took their places with
timid demeanor, such as cbaracterizes the student on the first day of the first year of High School
life. But this subdued spirit, like that of Dido, was tossed on a fluctuating tide.
"Then came a change, all things human change" and the class of '94 was deprived of some of
its members. These cho en ones accompli bed in three years the work on which we have pent four.
On the eigl:th of October, r8go, the ninth grade met at the solicitation of its teacher to effect a
class organization. This was accomplished and the elass of '94 has the honor of being the first to effect
a complete class organization. We are now the class of '94 with old rose and cream for our colors, and
"finis coronat opus" for our motto.
This class was the first to suggest picnics. One of the cherished relics of a pic-nic is a charming
group at luncheon , wbich by close crutiny may be recognized as the class of '94 engaged in its favorite pastimeeating.
The first and at present only class yell is :
"Thirteen ! Th1rteen I
Want no more ;

North Side H•gh School,
Class or '9-4·"

But these are minor things. Amoug the facts that
may help influence our future history are:
That we may expect examinations on Monday more
than any other day in the week, although we have not
learned why.
We have learned that:
"Flowers are the sweetest things God ever made and
forgot to put a soul into."

In I 8 when the High School of District Number
eventeen wa held in Arbuckle Hall, the ambitious
pupils formed two debating societies. These societies flouri bed and after the new building "'as completed the titles "North ide High cbool Lyceum" and "Ashland Club" were chosen. At present
each society bas about eighty-five members on its roll-call, and bas the regular order of officers: President, Vice-President, ecretary, Treasurer, also Program and 'linor Committees.
~feelings are held bi-monthly, the Lyceum and Club alternating. The program is of the usual
musical and literary order. The elocution teacher trains the pupil who read or recite, and the music
in tructor has charge of the vocal music. At the eud of every term each society gives an open meeting
to which the public is invited.
There is great rivalry between the two societies, but it i generally considered that the talent in
the school is about evenly divided.
The present pfficer of th e Lyceum are :
President, Burton Pike; Secretary, anarutb Taggart; Treasurer, Edwin Zell.
Those of the Ashland Club:
President, Grace Glascoe; Vice-President, Gilbert Johnson; ecretary, tuart Booth; Treasurer, .Walter Zell.

�North Side High School- Junior Clas
The Juniors were fir t organized into a cla society when they were young and giddy Fre hmen,
and since that time have been increasing in giddine~s. until now the emors say they are "perfectly
awful."
They have been noted for their brilliant intellects, and a they are not afraid of using their
talents, their cia s parties are among the mo t enjoyable of the various class societies. Their colors are
cherry and black. As yet they have not attained to the dignity of a cla s yell.
If all the members continue in chool, the class of '95 v.ill be the large t ever graduated from
the orth ide High School. Following i a list of the members:
Bettie Blake, tuart Booth, Bee Duer, Emma Ecker, \Villiam Haffey, Rosa Hersey, Eva Jackson,

impson, Anna Smith, Chester medley, Arthur Stark, May tevens, Bertha St. John, Cora Taylor,
Ella Todd, Robert Wolff, Edward Zell, Walter Zell.

Sophomore Class
The Class of '96 is next to the largest in the school, embracing one Aicher, and is also the strongest,
the Powers of the school being found in this class. It ought to be very sharp as it contains a Pike, but
this is counteracted by tbe pre ence of a leeper. The class contains a number of noted physical
cnlturi ts, prominent among whom is a Walker. The Swain of the class happens to be a young lady,
who often hears the familiar quotation, "Come into the Garden, Maud." The path of the boys often
veers Lee-ward, and the presence of a certain young lady causes other to "Trimble." The cla~s flower
varies between a Ro e and a laple (Agnes).
The following names are found on the ecretary's book :
George Aicher, Mabel Augustine, Jean Anderson, Ro a Buckingham, Margaret Baughman, Stella

Freshman Class
The Clas of '97 contains the greate t number of pupil of any cla entering the school. They
have been particularly active in hool work, and have furnished much talent for the Literary ocieties.
It is their great fortune to number more pretty girls than any cia in rhool. They early elected the

Cia s History
In epteruber, 189&lt;J, the cla of '94 entered the West Denver High School. It then numbered
about sixty pt•pil and wa compo ed largely of tudent from the Franklin and Logan cbools. The
class of '94 i in many respects the most distinguished of any
ever graduated from this High School. It was the first to
complete the four year course of sturly, and consequently
has been somewhat experimented upon.
otwitbstanding
strenuous efforts on the part of the faculty and board of
education, it was not permitted to enjoy the privileges and
advantages of the ew High School Building until January
2, 1&amp;}3.

The cia s now has a membership of twenty-four, and
with but two exceptions, those of Mr. Elder, who entered
in the second ye• ~,and Mr. Phelps in the third, its members
have gone through the four years together. The cia feels
proud that it has captured two Donald Fletcher medals, a
bakespeare prize, and a Revolutionary medal, for which
the pupils of High ~chools throughout the state competed.
From the rather chaotic condition of the first year's work
the class was rescued, systematized and arranged by the
present worthy principal, 1r. Hermanns, who has gained
the admiration and re pect of all his pupils and fellowworkers. The introduction of practical gymna tics into the
High School has proven to be of ine timable value, a the
graceful carriage of the young ladie and young gentlemen
will testify. Drawing ha received con iderable attention
during the pa t two years, and much slumbering talent
MAIN HALL-NORTU SIDE H • . •
bas sprung into life under the influence of in piring surroundings and an enthusia tic instructor. Thecla socials have been a pleasant diversion from the
work of the school room, and have enabled the members of the cla~s to form a nearer acquaintance and
clo er bond of friend hip bel\ een themselves and teacher .
o the day ha\·e fled, month have lengthened into years. What seemed in the beginning a
dream, ha now become a reality.

�The Class of '95
The Clas of '95 has the honor of having entered the West Denver High chool at the a me time
that their re peeled principal, Prof. Edward F. Hermanns made his appearance there.
The cia consisted of about sixty members when it entered, now about forty students belong.
It boa t of an unu ually large number of brightlight . All branche of tudy, which call for the greate t
ability, are o well repre ented that the name of certain member are always a ociated with them.
Despite its fault , of which it has many, it ha done much to add lustre to the fame of the chool.
The work which thi cia ha accompli bed has been excelled only by the indefatigable zeal displayed
hy the principal, in making the true value of the school equal, if not superior, to any other in the tate.

The Platonian ociety of the West Denver High chool was organized January 2d, 1 94, with a
charter membership of nineteen. This society was organized for the purpose of acquiring skill in

·e ·ill d ell for a hort time in the past.
Lookin. b k upon our fiht ye r of High chool work, I am reminded of nothing o mu ch as
th larva of Butterfhe . \\'e were very tender, very nnobtru ive, ea er for food (brain food), and not
in the lea t offended by the area tic epithet "infant , " be towed by the Juniors and eniors. We are
b ginning to fi elnow like full-fledged butterflie , ready to flutter our wing· and. oar to pastures new.
n a mild larch afternoon in the old recitation room "A," a youth with dreamy voice and low
w murmurin of
ar nd hi Gallic war . He h d frequently be n ur ed to " ·peak freely," but
Ia I the tri I of hi faint tone was one too ru ny for the already overwrought nerve of the teacher,
and in a fit of rle peration be e. claimed, "Oh I what a voice for maid and a moon-lit piazza." The
youth ought refuge behind the cover of his book, and there aro e from hi companions a merry laugh,
prolonged and loud.
'Twa a beautiful afternoon two months later, the cene the aforesaid recitation room, but the
windows were open now, and drowsy insects flew to and fro.
uddenly, as if from an electric hock,
our quiet, gentle Mary sprang from her seat and rushed from the room. All waited in breathless
suspense, save one lad, who vainly strove to suppress a tell-tale smile and escape the angry glance of
his teacher. What was the cause of all this commotion? Only a poor, harmless grasshopper, which
this lad had slyly dropped down the back of his neighbor. " Holgate, you may visit me after school,"
said the mi tress of the angry glance, and quietly resumed the lesson. But, oh! thi was not all. \Vhen
came the Ia t day of school, and the principal had fini bed his remarks, the male quartette aro .
Forth came the words of a strange new son&amp; to the tune of the " weet bye and bye." The boy and
the grasshopper had been made'' a name in history, and a light iu ong.''
One young man from our number seemed to posse the happy faculty of tran lating by instinct,
as it were, all pa ages in Virgil pertaining to love. Tbi we will admit is a rare gift, but when it led
him to con true as such, other passages which he did not understand, it was to ay the lea t amusing.
Another young man whose thoughts ran in the same direction, one day rendered the passage: "The
miserable woman destined to future ruin," "The miserable woman due to her future pestilence," and
on being asked what this pe tilence was, replied , that he " gues ed it must mean love."
trange to ay
the minds of the young ladies took an entirely different turu in tran lating Latin, and even went so far
as to merit the name "barbarian ." The girl sustained the army of one of Cre ar's enemies during the
winter, on the forces of another enemy, while in Virgil, a pupil harl Andromache sent across the flood
to Helenus a food .
A young man of delicate constitution and of muscles born weary, one day conceived the idea Of
ab enting himself from drill in calesthenics by secreting his person in a large packing box in the
dre ing room, His plan ucceeded admirably till a fellow pupil in pa ing, placed the lid in po ition
and he was a prisoner. Here be remained during the first part of the les on, when his absence bemg
noticed, hi biding place was spied . He wa much relieved to be freed from his hermitage, though
..:ompelled to return omewhat ingloriously to class.

High Standard of the University

An examination of the new catalogue of the State University shows
that the cour es of Study in the collegiate department have been
thoroughly reorganized. There are four course the classical, the
philo ophlcal, the scientific and the literary. Certain studies called
basic; are common to aU , others called charact.e nstic belong to the particular degre~ ":imed. at, and the others are free
electives. The student IS held to certa1o es enllal work, but later i penmlted to spec1ahze w1th reftrence to hiS a1ms and
t~udcncics. These cour es arc _a marked contrast to the fixed curriculum prcvaili~g in colleges~ few years ago, w}?ich was
httle ~or': than an advanced hl&amp;"h school course of study ; and they may fAirly cia 1m to be supenor to those fouud 10 many
large m~titut1ons to· day. Each department offers many electives enabling the student to pursue a particular hoe as far
as he cboo es. ~toreover, graduate " work 1s alrcadv given and a number of studenl!lt are enrolled for the advanced
degrees of laster of Art ana Doctor of Philo&lt;ophy. The e facts are significant in that they how the University to be
genuinely a university, according to the plan of HArvard , Yale or !:ich1gan . The univ~rsilles in the country that are thu
organized are comparatively few, and tbe people of Colorado should recognize with pride the merits of an institution that
is peculiarly their owu. The faculty has on its list a larg~ proportion of men who have taken an advanced degr~e in their
specialty, and the teaching fore~ . according to the s1ze and needs of the 1nstituliou , is as large and able as that of the older
universities .

knows of the play, "Graduation," to be given June 10, 1910.
Scene, E. D. H. S. Plot, to get a diploma. Time 1906-10. Dramatis Personae,
all good "E. D. H. Sers." But how many know of the rehearsals necessary
for this great production? Of course there were many, many rehearsals, simply
for a little farce, "Graduation from Grade School," but I am merely going to tell you
of the last four most important rehearsals.
I had a fearful dream about those four. I dreamed I had to take the MillionQuestion-a-Minute Imp to see those rehearsals termed respectively, Freshman, Sopho·
more, Junior, and Senior years. But don't be scared, I am not going to tell you all he
asked.
FIRST REHEARSAL.

(Stage is filled with a crowd of bewildered children.)
"Why are all those boys and girls so dazed-looking?"
"Hush, dear Imp, this is the first rehearsal. They are Freshmen."
"What is a Freshman?"
"Why a Freshman is- a-a result of the public school system. (I did hate to
prejudice the Imp against the public school system)."
"Do all Freshmen look like those scared ones in front?"
"No, indeed. Do you see all those creatures at one side-half child and half fish,
sort of mermaid effect? Well, they are sharks. Once they were real boys and girls, but
they consumed to much midnight oil and now are sharks. In a Freshman, however, traces
of the child may still be seen."
"Is that why they have that sea for a background?"
"No, strange to say, these sharks hate the C. The C serves as a background
for many others, until the last rehearsal, where other means of keeping out of the limelight are easily found.''
"But now they are separating into groups. They look as if they hated one another.''
"They do. These on the right side are Latin school pupils, those on the left,-dear
me, I nearly said wrong-side are Freshmen at East Side. For everyone knows that
all loyal sons of East Side always take four years of Latin, and therefore go to Latin
school."

!56!

�"What are all those scowly beings to whom the stage manager is giving groups of
children to train? Why, they nearly all have something to hammer with."
"Yes, they are the teachers. fhey always begin by knocking the F re hmen."
"Are there going to be acrobats in the play?"
"No, indeed, none except those who exercise their brain. Why?"
"But look at that man over there, with that group of children, twisting and turning,
standing first on one foot and then on the other.··
Absentmindedly I answered, "Mr. Newland," then after a hasty glance, "you mean
the one with his foot in the waste basket? That's Mr. Reed."
"But now they begin to look happy, as if they felt at home. Have they learned
everything?"
"They think so.
time away. "

They are merely coming to the next three rehearsals to pass the
SoPHOMORE .K.EHEARSAL.

"Why, lots of the boys and girls aren't here."
"Oh, my friend, there was a sad accident. Some of them were very fond d
pleasure, but hadn't yet learned to paddle their own canoes, and were lost in the River D."
"Look how hard they are studying. Do they have to study that hard to be in thf
great play?"
"No, but they think they do. 1 hese are Sophomores, you know."
"See that boy, jumping and jumping. Is he trying to make the track team?"
"Oh no, that's Fletcher Trunk trying to leap into prominence. Later on he 'II learn
that all things come to him who waits."
"See all those girls over there. Who are they?"
"You mean the ones with the over-the-hills-and-far-away look? They belong t(J
Minerva-the authoresses of I 9 I 5. Silly school girls come not anear."
"Hear the dreadful sounds the boys and girls are making."
"Those are foot ball yells. Now some of our number do aspire to the foot ball
eIeven. "
"Will that help them to be in the great play?"
"Nay, it will rather keep them much from rehearsal."
"Hark, there's music in the air."
"Pardon me, you are mistaken. You hear the Glee Club practicing. There are
some boys over there who will probably be m the play. Yes, even Will Shafroth, whose
motto is. 'What's the use of being wise, I'd rather far be merry.' That boy with the
long hair? That's Stuart Sweet. Never mind. poor Stuart is not the only one who
thinks long hair a short cut to tame."
"Will all these people be m the play?"
"Probably. Algebra passed, Geometry passed, but one thing looms up before them-physics-then rah!"
]UNIOR REHEARSAL.

(Pupils all carry bc;&gt;oks and remain in orderly groups. Nearly all appear on time.)
"Why, all the boys and girls are carrymg books and everyone has a worn and
battered red one.''
"Oh yes, Mr. Parker still teaches physics."
"Who is that boy occupying the center ot the stage, shining with glory and a medal?"
"That is Herbert Wilkms who in year 1908, be it said to the everlasting glory o:
our class, won the Woodbury medal.''
57

�"Do you see those men of noble mien and thoughtful brow? Who are they?"
"They are our Congressmen. Theirs not to do or die, theirs but to reason why."
"But won't they ever fill great places in the world?"
"Serve in this land of graft and under men who probably never learned how in a
high school congress! Never! In the land of Utopia, perhaps, yes."
"Do you see all those boys wildly scrambling after a ball, quite regardless of taking
part in rehearsal?"
"Those dreadful creatures so eager for the fray? That's the ball team getting
ready for the Manual game."
"Will they win?"
"Of course. They always have."
"The Minerva girls seem very busy."
" 'Life is real! Life is earnest!' They want to be in the great play."
"It's getting very late. Isn't it almost time for rehearsal to be over?"
"Wait, listen a moment. The stage manager, Mr. Smiley, is reading a list of the
worthy ones. And is mine one, quoth many a youth and maid. Nay, not so, for the
pupil with the A's name led all the rest."
(Exeunt all, with grim determined faces. Each one resolves to be on that list next
year.)
SENIOR REHEARSAL.

("Sober, steadfast and demure." "With even step and musing gait" they come in.)
"They look almost as happy as they did at Freshman rehearsal. Do they really
know a very great deal?"
"Oh, my friend, they are Seniors. 'And where they are, likewise their learning is.'"
"Look at all the heroes of athletics lined up before Mr. Smiley. He is giving them
all a big red D. 'Is that a death? and are there two? Is death that ball team's fate?' "
"Mercy no! Hear them. 'The game is done! I've won! I've won.' These are
big red D's. The others, which the teachers have been awarding so liberally, are little
black D's. They are given away free. Flunk in an 'exam' or don't study for a day
or two a D is assured. For even easier terms apply to Miss Hood or Mr. Pitts."
"Who is that teacher with all her pupils standing in a line before her? Looks as
if they were spelling down."
"Well, they are spelling. You see some of them were so busy studying literature.
art, and the sciences, that they didn't have time to learn to spell. But alas, Miss Salisbury
has decreed that her pupils shall not be in the great play unless they can spell. 'Delightful
task to rear the tender thought, to teach the young idea how to shoot.' ''
"Now all the pupils are studying as hard as they can; even the heroes of atheletic~
are frantically searching for information."
"You see, in a few moments, Mr. Smiley will choose those for the great play; an~
be it known unto you that no one without fifteen credits can take part.''
Aren't they glad the rehearsals are over?"
"Yes, they have all been anticipating the play, but after all it has been jolly to
work together under our beloved Mr. Smiley. I am not sure but that they are a bit
sorry the happy days are over."
"But who will be in the great paly 'Graudation'?"
"Wait and see when the curtain is up, june I 0."

77f HE most successful Hallowe'en party ever given at East Denver was held the twentyW ninth of October, in the High school building. The decorations were made up
of streamers of orange and black, the class colors, hung from the chandelier to all
parts of the lower hall; corn-shocks and jack-o'-lanterns were profusely and ingeniously
distributed throughout the building·
As the class president, Milton Allen, was unable to be present, the vice president,
Herbert Wilkins, opened the evening with a short but entertaining talk. Then Jeannett.:
Bartlett told a thrilling ghost story, which was greatly appreciated. Dancing was in
order during the entire evening, and the music, furnished by a harpist, was excellent, and
added much to the pleasure of dancers and onlookers. The Glee Club gave several
selections which brought forth loud and enthusiastic signs of approval.
One of the features of the evening was the weird costuming of the guests.
Mr. Pitts, Mr. Arundel, and Mr. Kester, were especially good as farmers; and
Rollo Brown, dressed as a colored nunstrel, added much to everyone's pleasure.
The future of members of the class was foretold by Miss Cowperthwaite, Martha
Lindsay, and Lynda Strickler, and the secrets of Mr. Smiley's life were revealed to an
eager crowd. Great interest centered around a .. Chamber of Horrors," which gave to
all who were fortunate enough to gain admittance, a new and unlooked for thrill.
After apple-bobbing and other Hallowe'en sports were ended, refreshments, con·
sisting of pumpkin pie, lemonade, apples, and doughnuts, were served.
The committee in charge of the party was: Alma Melzer, Grace Bartholomew,
Mary Butler, Gilbert McDonough, chairman, Will Shafroth, and Edgar Williams.

�171 HERE have been dances from early times; dances of all kinds.

For many years,
~ semor class have given them. But the most successful and enjoyable one ever given
by school or class, was the dance at El 1ebel on December I 8, 1909, by the Senio~

Class of E. D. H. S.
The commtttee in charge was an enterprising one, whose sole purpose it was, to see
that everyone present, had the best of everything. Everything passed off smoothly during
the evening; and there was not a flaw to be found anywhere. The music was furnished
by Lohm3n's Orchestra. Everyone who has ever danced to their inspiring music, know.)
that their equal ts not to be found in the city. Baur's served the refreshment!\. Black
and his well trained attendants saw that all had the proper attention.
fhe fomteen dances and two extras passed so rapidly and enjoyably that before
anyone realized it, "Home, Sweet Home," was being played. And with many longing
glances around the room, each couple turned their steps homeward, and each individual
realtzed that four of the happiest hours of his life had passed like a dream.
The members of the committee were: Milton Allen, 1ames Bowler, chairman,
Homer Griffin, Herbert Wilkins, William Shafroth, and Harold Stiles.

One day an Appreciative Chap said to an Unappreciative Chap, "Say, do you like
actmg?"
"Sure I do," was the quick reply. "Well, why didn' t you go to the Senior clas ·
play then? ' '
"Because," said the Unappreciative Chap, "I like acting."
Now that Unappreciative Chap was only joking, to be sure, and his joke only serves
to call our attenllon to how well the play really was given this year. That same Unappreciative Chap heard it, said that "Pygmalion and Galatea" was one of the best
plays ever turned out by any Senior class of East Denver, so of course, he felt sorry
he had not been there.
The play was given on the evening of March 4th. Before the play, the Glee
Club gave several selections which were exceedingly entertaining and very amusmg,
while the Mandolm Club also showed what they could do.
The cast for the play, "Pygmalion and Galatea," was as follows:
Pygmalion, an Athenian Sculptor ... .. ... ...... . . .. . ..... . . . . . Paul Gibson.
Leucippe, a Soldier . .. . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . .. .. . .. .. . Milton Allen.
Chrysos, an Art Patron .... . . ... . .... . .. . . .. . . .... . . . .. .. Kenaz Huffman.
Agesimos, Chrysos' Slave . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. .. . ... . .. .. . Charles Winters
Mimos, Pygmalion's Slave . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . •. . . . . . . . . . . Henry Sweet.
Galatea, an Animated Statue .... .. ...... .. . . ...... . . . .. Gertrude Cleveland.
Cymsca, Pygmalion's Wife . ..... . .... . . . . ..... ............ . Eliabeth Hale.
Daphne, Chrysos' Wife . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ......... . ... ... . . Elizabeth Sutton.
Mynne, Pygmalion's Sister .... ........ . ... .. . .... .......... . . Lolita Snell.
All did well, and the stage setting and the pretty Greek costumes added a charm
which will not soon be forgotten by all those who saw the play. Paul Gibson, the one
] umor in the play, carried his part well and was an honor to his class.
Gertrude Cleveland made a very beautiful Galatea, and her musical voice made
her still more charming. Once or twice she nearly smiled, almost did in fact, when she
said to Leucippe, "Get you gotte or I'll alarm the house."
The slaves, Henry Swe.ot and Charles Winters, got through safely, without dying
of stage fright or forgetting their lines. The Unappreciative Chap heard they were good.
As for Kenaz Huffman, he made the hit of the evening in his role of Chrysos, for
he kept the audience in a continual gale of merriment.
Elizabeth Sutton acted her part well and was very natural as a scolding and
indignant wife.
Elizabeth Hale was very good, especially in her prayer to Artemis. Perhaps
she followed Mr. Pitts' advice and practiced praying at home.
Our class president, "Tub" Allen, as Leucippe, made a brave warrior, and his
frown took the prize for naturalness that evening· His scene with Myrine was greatly
appreciated.
Lolita Snell aroused the sympathy of the audience in her part, as Myrine, for she
wept twice m a very natural manner. So the Unappreciative Chap found out.
In fact the play was a decided success in every way, thanks to the time and effort
which Mr. Pitts devoted to even the smallest details.
William Shafroth was manager and, as he still wears his happy smile, we believe
he was entirely satisfied.

A great many people always wonder what that old bell is doing out there in the
Stout street yard. I wonder if they realize that there was only one high school in the
city at one time, that high school was East Denver, and it was founded in the autumn
of the year 18 72. At that time, however, there was no fine buildmg such as we have
now. The first htgh school was organized on the third floor of the old Arapahoe
School building· Mr. F. C. Garbutt was superintendent; Mr. Thomas H. Baker,
principal, and Miss Overton was associate.
The school was dtvided into three classes, namely: A, B, and C. There were but
seven students in Class A, but about thirty in each of the other two classes. Among those
in Class A were BenJamm C. Bancroft and Rtchard H. Malone, at present prominent
business men of this city. The H'Onorable Whitney Newton, at one time State Treasurer
of Colorado, Harry Baldwin, a graduate of Yale Umversity, and an engineer in the
Geodetic and Geographical Surveys of the Umted States, were of this class. And when
we think of such men as HoMrable Robert W. Steele, Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court of Colorado, and General Irving Hale, who made the best record at West Point
that had ever been made, we certainly have a right to be proud of our school. It is
indeed phenomenal that from a class of seven, so large a number should have made such
unusual records.
There were also a great many able members in Class B. The girls in this class •
became e·pecially dtstinguished. Miss Harriet Schoter became a noted \Ocaltst, and wa
employed a long time in some of the most prominent churches in Brooklyn, New York.
Miss Cynthia Weston was for a number of years one of the editors of the New York
Tribune; and she is now the President of the United States Sunshine Society.
Knowing these things, we can have little doubt but that the students of that period
hold that old bell as a sacred memento of their high school days, to the familiar,
mellow tones of which they came to their tasks in the old Arapahoe School Building.

Four years ago, when the present Senior Class entered East Denver, they thought
only of how fine it was to be in High School; how nice it was not to have to sit in the
same seal all day long and recite all their lessons to the same teacheJ. Trey haJ a lot
of fun, about as much, if not more, than any Freshman Class before or since. And they
worked, too; they certainly did work! And so it is to be expected that they have become
attached to the school, having had so much fun and having done so much hard work. Few
people realize, however, how strong that attachment is. We sometimes wonder what th~
school will do in athletics, or debating, or any other activity, when the graduating class has
gone. But why should we worry? Didn't last year's class feel the same way? anJ
weren't their fears dispelled when we took possesston of Room 16! We came up to their
expectations, and yet we fear that our successors will not come up to ours. But they
will! You know they will! With the spirit that existed in East Denver since it was
founded, they cannot do otherwise. So "Hail! Hail! East Denver!" Here's to
the commg class of Seniors, a class that will uphold the honor of the school, the class
of 1911!

"\Vhy, Hinnissy, me boy, it's a Who's Who or a What's What book 3 sort

'T ve had me eye on that class since its infincy. Why there's musi::ians, pot~.

"Just take a look at thim. They assimbled down there fr'm th' fure corners i\

"Say, Hinnissy, ye' re fond iv music?"
"Sure thing," says Hinnissy.
"Thin ye' d aught to hear some iv thim Juniors. Ye've heard iv Teddy Rosen·

"Thin there's Clint Moore an' light weight Ed Durbin, both stiddy enough on th ·

"An', Hinnissy. th' juniors even got up a team of their own, with Shotwell, th'

"Some day, Hinnissy, ye must just see Larry Bromfield knock th' tennis ball

is that th' person behind th' racket makes th' noise.
"Athletics, Hinnissy, is the junior's sthrong hand- but we won't fergit th' sojer

"Statesmin, too, Hinnissy, flourish at East Dinver. Sure ye've heard iv th' Woodbury or-rahon and th' Stevens Declamation conhsts, an' wasn't it our Junior Adams that

OCTRINA ~ed vim promovet insitam, Rectique cultus pectora roborunt."
Learning improves native gifts, and wise discipline strengthens the character.
As I was this morning taking the air, I was met by my friend, Sir Roger
de Coverley, who rid by me at full speed, with a couple of servants behind him
Upon my inquiry as to where he was bound, he discovered to me that he was summJned
up by the editors of the Annual to visit the East Denver High School; upon which l
decided to accompany him.
We were arrived at the school just when the morning session was begun, and were
conducted to a class where Caesar was being translated. A fresh faced, ruddy youn~
man was reciting his lesson with much difficulty. But the next youth recited with great
ability. The candid and ingenuous manner with which he delivered himself, appealed to
my friend exceedingly. Upon my inquiry, I ascertained that the latter was a Sophom~re
When the old knight heard this he remarked, "Truly, it is pity that the members of tl:
other classes do not apply themselves to their studies with as much diligence and ambition.
The old gentleman, perceiving the inattention of a few of the young ladies, also remarked
"Had Will Honeycomb been here he would surely have said, ' How much more pro5t·
ably could they spend their time at home looking after their fashions, than sitting her.
thus idle.' ''
Upon our departure from this class, we were met by the principal of the school, Mr.
Smiley, a man of great probity, wit, and understanding, and who is highly esteemed by
all. This gentleman conducted us to several other classes during the morning. Tht
aptness and ability of the Sophomores throughout all of the classes, pleased the gOOd
knight highly, as it had done in the class which we first visited.
On a few of their qualitit's, I must needs remark. Their natural abilities, which are
very good, assisted by their discipline, enable them to make themselves considerabzy
proficient in their studies. While, on account of their youth, the judgment and dis&lt;...!fll"
ment of older people cannot be expected, yet, in a manner which is entirely remarkabk
they apply themselves with more than ordinary attention to the pursuit of everything which
they undertake. In the mischievous groups which collect in the halls, they are seldoo
to be seen; they never venture among the jostling of the crowd; and on the ~treet they d
[681

�not attempt to gain attention to themselves by giving vent to loud exclamations. In thi:&gt;
articular my friend, Sir Roger, observed, "Truly, I would heartily wish that more of
~he pupils of the other cla~ses would follow this example; and on coming to school, instead
of wasting their time in frivolity, would endeavor to fulfill the purpose for which they are
sent." The aspect of the good old man carried much satisfaction as he continued, "I
never pa~sed time more to m) pleasure than I did this m::&gt;rning, notwithstanding the stroll,
I have taken with the perverse, beautiful widow."
I will conclude this speculation with the following story:
It happened in the Assembly room during one of the morning exercises, that a girl
arrived too late to obtam a seat. Many of the students observed the difficulty and confu~ion she was in, but no one moved to give her a seat, until suddenly a row of Sophomore,
arose, each proffering her his. The students of the other classes, being suddenly touched
with the sense of their lack of courtesy, gave a thunder of applause, and they all cried
out: "We may understand what is good, but the Sophomores practice it."

The school bell rang in nineteen nine,
The Freshy started off in time
To learn his lessons from his books
And comment on the young girls' looks.
It was a warm day in june in the year 1909, when the D. &amp; R. G. train thundered
into the little station of Palmer Lake. A fat man, well laden w1th luggage, and accom ·
panied by a very thin woman, alighted and spying a strong looking boy called out, " a),
bey, will you carry our grips to Glen Park?"
")' es, sir," quickly replied the boy, and p1cking up a large suit case in one hand
and a ~m11l valise in the other started up to Glen Park. It was a hard and tiresome
climb, but Paul (for that was the name of the boy) did not mind it. He was happy
today bccluse he had just fini~hed the eighth grade of the Gram"ll:H school, and was
planning what he would do in September, when he should go to Denver and there enter

high school.
[691

�At this time the cadets were camping at Palmer Lake, and Paul soon became
acquainted with them. The members from the Manual company told him that M. T.
H. S. was the best school in Denver, and those from W. D . H . S. said if he wanted
to have a good time he should go to West; but Paul did not hke the descriptions of either
of the two, and thought he would not like high school. But meeting the captain of the
E. D. H . S. company he changed his mind. He was very much interested in football
and when told of the excellent team that East Denver always had, he decided that that
was the only school for him.
Soon the summer months flew by and it was time for Paul to go to Denver. Ju~t
as the bright rays of the sun began to illuminate the country, he was up and ran out to
the barn to give a farewell pat to "Billy," his little black pony· He then said good-by
to all his friends and went to the train. When he arrived in Denver his aunt was waiting
for him and took him to her home, where he was to stay durmg the school months.
The next day he started for East Denver. When he entered the large h!ill
which was crowded with pupils, he was quite bewildered. He saw a large bulletin by
which he was directed to a place called Assembly Hall. He climbed the stairs and
entered the large hall. When he had signed a pledge that he did not belong to a
&amp;aternity, he was given his program. He was now ready to sit by the lamp~ light, and
from that day on he has been consuming the midnight oil with an energy which promise·
to make the class of 191 3 the best and the greatest that was ever under the roof of

E. D. H. S.
The first week was rather hard for Paul. He could not find all the rooms, and
in trying to find them was often late for his recitations. One day as he was trudging up
the stairway which leads from the basement, he was greeted by some girls who laughrd
and said, "Say, Freshie, why don't you go on your own stairs?" But this confusion
lasted only a few days.
He soon overcame all his difficulties and became acquainted With a number of boys
and girls. He joined the cadets and was a member of congress. He took great interet
in his studies, and was admitted to the Sophomore class in June. He then returned to
Palmer Lake to enjoy a pleasant vacation with his old friends, and to prepare for anot~t'r
school term, even better than the first.

It was mid-afternoon; one of those still afternoons of late summer, when the sun
shines warm, and everything is hushed in a sort of sleepy content--everything, that is,
except the crickets and grasshoppers and flies; they are perched on every grass blad~
and weedlet, a million billion strong, and every one is singing his little song, or sawing
his little fiddle, or whirring his little wings, until the air is thick with little sounds.
They basked in the roadway, too, and as Dan's dragging feet kicked up little
spurts of warm white dust, they darted up and whizzed away before him, with harsh
wmg tickmgs.
Dan's eyes roved idly here and there, and he walked slowly, swinging his berry
buckets as he went. There was no use hurrying; he was probably already too late,
and it was rather pleasanter out here in the warm stillness than it would be in the midst
of the emulous clamor of the berry-patch. So the sun was slanting down toward the
western sky-line when he turned aside from the main road and up the path that led to the
big patch. There were many pickers there before him, and as Dan appeared, he was
greeted by gay shouts of derision from the boys and girls, "La-azy bones!" "It's the
tardy bird gets the worm; the early one gets the blackberry!" "Butt out of m.Y bush.
please! there isn't room for two." "Poor old Dan! let's give him a berry apiece, poor
thing!" until he sank down upon a tree-stump with a comic look of dismay, watching th~
luckier cnes, and exchanging bits of repartee that made up in quantity for what they
lacked in other respects.
A good many children plafed about-little ones, whom their parents had brought
rather to keep them in sight than to press them into service as gatherers. Every now
and then Dan would hear one or another cry, "Yuh don't dast! Dare yuh! Dare yuh1
Take a dare and steal sheeps! " Then some small, wide eyed child who had screwed up
his courage to the sticking point would swagger, grubby hands deep in overall pocket,,
toward a rectangle of tall lilacs, and approaching to within some ten yards of the
apparent goal, he would turn and rush back with pallid little face, his diminished valor
"increasing as the square of the distance" from the bushes, until upon his safe return
to the others he was a very victor-he had gone, and seen, and conquered, and he had
fully explored the mystery of mysteries-from the aforesaid distance of ten yards.
But, sometimes, neither taunts nor shrill songs of "Fraid cat! fraid cat! double
fraid cat!" had power to drag the trembler's feet one yard in the direction of the
gloomy enclosure; and it was noticeable, too, that the grown folk were qmte as discreet
in their avoidance of the place; there was a semi-circle like a safety zone, which, as
by a tacit understanding, they d1d not pass; everywhere else they went freely, going
from one clump of bushes to another, in the1r gathering.
Everyone, you see, was familiar with the story; how old Hermit ] ason had lived
l1e1e on the edge of the clearing, ye:us and years ago, in a little tumbledown hut, with
great lilac bushes planted close all 'round and growing up and up past the very chimney;
how he was reputed to have dealings with strange VIsitors, and how marks of cloven feel
were always to be seen about his dwelling; how, finally, on one windy, stormy, tempestuous night, the he:1vens opened with the reek of brimstone, and in the morning, beb)ld!
all that was left of the miserable shanty at the forest's edge was a little heap of smoking
ashes surrounded by an expanse of bare scorched grouund on the one sid e, and burned
and blackened trees on the other, with no sign of the hermit high nor low; and how, by
171]

�1

this token, it was as plain as the nose on your face that the hut had been so carefully
burned for no lesser reason than to destroy any trace of the meetings which had been
held there, and that old Jason had been spirited away in a chariot of fire, quite after
the manner of the Prophet Ehjah, save for his destination.
A thick growth of berry bushes had sprung up in the place of the burned underbrush, and the space was always noisy with country folk during the berry season, fo!
the fruit growing there was huge and luscious beyond all other in the country side; but
the people still avoided the little square, with its lilacs which had grown up again from
their scorched roots, as they would have shunned a plague--yes, the story was as familiar
as one's A, B, C's, and old Jason had been the bug-a-boo with which all the mothen
(more shame to them) had frightened all the children into scared obedience, through
all the many years since the hermit had gone.
But now Dan wearied of watching the pickers, and straightening himself up from
the stump, he stretched his arms above his head, yawned, and took up his buckets.
"Gettin' late, folkses!" he drawled, "Guess I'll be goin' along home, sence you got all
the berries cornered anyhow.

So long!" and he lounged up the path to the road.

Five minutes passed, and the pickers were almost ready to gather their childret
and belongings together for the home going.

Tongues were flying fast and fingers faster,

when from the direction of the lilacs came one long, low, mournful "Cooo-eee!" Yoiw
were hushed and fingers stilled and faces blanched as by a gorgon head.

And while

they stood there, still bent above the bushes, with white faces turned as of one accord
toward the hollow square with its background, the darkening forest, a yell sounded from
the same spot-a yell so loud that it echoed and re-echoed from earth and sky, and so
awful that the very lilacs seemed to tremble.

There was an instant of absolute stillness

as the sound died away on the quivering air; then, with one crash of buckets, one seizing
of children, and one mad scurry, the berry pickers were gone.
If anyone had ventured to peep within the dread enclosure (a thing which had
never been known to occur through all the years), he would have seen a figure rising
from where it had lain stretched prone upon the ground with lips close to the lilac.
roots; he would have seen the same figure brush the soil from overalls and shirt in most
human fashion, and he would have seen it push apart the lilac bushes, wriggle througli
into the deserted berry patch, and, broadly grinning, fill its two buckets from the many
which had been left behind.

But there was no one to see it--except Dan; and he had

never possessed a mirror in his life.

fhe principal subject of discussion during the first week of school was the wonderful
team East Denver would have. This discussion was not based on presumption· or talk,
but upon actual fact and knowledge of materi:d
Nothing, it seemed, could prevent us
from capturing the championship; and even Dr. Fowler and Mr. Kester believed we
would be victors.
With this idea in our heads, we were not slow in settling down to good, stiff practi:e;
and it was not long before we were ready, under the strict supervision of Captain Allen,
to enter upon the arranged schedule.
Our first opponents were the North S1ders. We looked forward to a hard game,
and so went into it with the expectation of a close score. Dunng the earlier part of the
game, it seemed as though our expectations would come true, for North Denver, by a
brilliant run of ninety yards, ~cored a touchdown· This inslead of disheartening our
players, seemed to inspire new life into them; and from then on, everything went our way.
Time after time the backs would plow through the line, and the ends would be repeatedh
circled. These tactics Here continued throughout the remainder of the game, and resulted in a final score of l 8 to 5. This victory did not make us over-confident, as s&gt;
often happens, but made us more eager for the coveted championship.
We next encountered West Denver, and to say the least, the game was interesting.
It wa~ easy for East Denver to make eleven points, and the goose-egg sign was the only
reward West Denver received.
1 he Boulder Preps were the next whom we met. This game was the turning
point of our success. We do not care to make excuses, but nevertheless it is a fact that
luck was against us. We were within striking distance of the goal five times, and yet
each time we failed to score. The Preps, on the other hand, secured a field goal, the
only time our goal was in danger. With this defeat on our hands, things seemed to go
from bad to worse. Captain Allen was at this critical point attacked by a severe ca5e
of appendicitis. Our hope of becoming champions vanished, and the spirit in the school
fell almost to a minus quantity. But yet there is the spirit of perseverance and loyalty
at East Denver, and for that reason the team labored and struggled under adverse con·
ditions and awaited the worst. The following week we met our old rival, Manual,
on a field of ice and snow. East Denver started with the usual rush and spirit, but th;s
was soon dampened by the injury received by our clever quarterback, Sherman, which
forced him to retire from the game. East Denver strove against fate it seemed; but no,
we secured a fumble and scored a touchdown. The East Denver stands were all astir;
excitement, confusion. and disturbance reigned; and yet this touchdown did not mean the
wmnmg of the game; for it was disallowed owing to a fracas between two of th~
players. East Denver played a defensive game for the rest of the time. We prevented
Manual from scoring during the two full halves; but the time was extended and Manual
succeeded in making a Princeton, which ended the game, owing to certain rules of th~
interscholastic league. the game was declared no game. This gave East Denver another
chance at Manual.
What was declared to be the largest crowd ever attending a high school contest
assembled at Union Park on Thanksgiving morning. East Denver went into the game
without Allen, Sherman, and Bowler, three of their stars. While the game was exciting
and interesting, it was marred by looseness and blunders. The plain truth was that

1781

�Manual played a better game, and won on their merits. East Denver did not give up,
but succeeded in holding the score down to 10 to 0, the game ending with the ball in
East Denver's possession on Manual's five yard line.
The members of the team who received monogram as a reward for their season
of hard work and loyalty to the school were: Allen, captain; Bartels; Bowler, field
captain; Durbin; Gallup; Glendenning; Hawkins; Hursch; Kassler; Lavington; Lovett;
Luman; Mason, captain elect; McDonough, field captain; Moore; Robinson; Sherman;
Tobin; and Manager Alexander, who deserves especial credit, as under his skillful
management the season was completed with one of the best financial records ever made
;n East Denver.

&lt;!Hus.a lliuotbull
A rather new idea for East Denver, class football, was instituted this year. Although
this had been talked about for many years, nothing definite had ever been done to carry
it into effect. A number of wide-awake students, under the guidance of Mr. Kester,
formed a team in each class. While no strict rules were followed in training and
practice, many lively and exciting games were played.
The first game of the season was one full of excitement and interest. The juniors,
who believed they would have "easy meat" when they met the Freshies, were greatly
surprised, not to say mortified, as they slunk off the field with a small five points tucked
under their arms. The F reshies, not daunted by their first defeat, practiced and worked
all the harder and lo !-it was not in vain, as the Sophs went down to defeat by the
close score of 5 to 0. The remainder of the schedule was played off in due time and the
championship rested between Seniors and F reshies. The Semors, realizing the disgrac~
which would come from being defeated, played like dem~ns; and when the whistle was
blown, the score stood 9 to 3 in favor of the Seniors. The standmg of the respectivl!
teams at the end of the season was: Seniors, Freshman, Juniors, Sophomores.
To say the least, class football was launched with great success; and, as long
as active leadership and lively interest are shown, many games of healthful. clean, and
interesting football will be played.

�The record of last year's team was a very creditable one.

The team was com-

prised of excellent material, and owing to the breaking of Pitcher Campbell's arm during
one of the early games, the work rested wholly on Lavington.

It was mainly through

his good work that East Denver secured the credit which she received.
We broke even in our two games with Manual; the first, after an exciting contest,
resulted m a score of 4 to 2 in favor of Manual; the second, which was one of the
finest exhibitions of high school baseball ever occurring in Denver, was won by East
Denver by the close score of 3 to 2 ·

Both were excellent games.

This year's team should be a sure winner, judging from the material which is
"trying out."

The following men who won their monograms last year and are playing

this year are: Gnffin, captain; Campbell, manager ; Baker, Lavington. Cowell, Lifschitz,
Leisenring, C owles and

Greenstein.

There are also a number of other good men,

trying for positions on the team, among these are: Walters, Fenwick, McDonough, L.
Bromfield, and D. Bromfield.
Judging from the results of numerous practice games played this year, East Denver
should regain the championship, which she has not held for two years.

��The last two years have, it seems, been off years for East Denver in Track.

Many

good men have developed; but while so doing, the other high schools have not been idle,
and have, also, produced many good athletes.

Then it appears that East Denver has

not gone backward, but that the various other schools have come forward.

Last year

we had a splendid team, and yet could do nothing more than accept the honors of third
place at Boulder.
The Colorado Springs meet occurred the first of May, and a good strong team wa
sent. Individual cups were awarded the winners of the various events, and men representing East Denver succeeded in capturing a majority of them. We easily carried ofi
the honors, the nearest competitor only drew twenty-two points against our thirty·nine
and a half. With this as a starter we expected to make a very fair record at Boulder,
but results proved otherwise.

Longmont appeared with thirty-eight and a half poin

Boulder with twenty-two, and East Denver with thirteen and a half.

The meet o

city high schools occurred a week later; and while we were unable to take first placr
we tied with North Denver, thus placing Manual in third place.

The basket ball season this year was a most successful one for the girls. In the
eight games played, the team was defeated but once, and that was by Wolfe Hall, which
claims the state championship.
With Mr. Kester as coach, Lolita Snell as captain, and Alma Melzer as manager,
it is no wonder the girls had such a fine team. In view of thetr excellence they were
awarded D's at opemng exercises on the same mornmg on which the boys' team receiHd
theirs. This was the first time in the history of the school that the girls' team has been so
honored.
The schedule of games and scores were as follows :
January 14. Manual 2, East II.
January 21, D. U. 18, East 28.
February I 5, Manual 6, East 18.
February 18, D. U. 12, East 21.
March 15, I st T earn Manual 6, East 49; 2nd T earn Manual 15, East 14.
March I 8, I st T earn Wolfe Hall 29, I st T earn East 9; 2nd T earn Wolfe Hall
14, 2nd Team East 15.
April 5, D . U. 4, East 7.
On March 19th, at The Public Bath House, three exhibition games were given in
which the first team defeated the second by a score of 31 to 8.
The line-up of the team was as follows:
Lolita Snell . .. . ....... . ... . ..... . .... .. . . . . . . . . . . . . Forward and Captain
Lucille Carr . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. Guard

Nettie Schultz . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Center or Guard
Lolita Snell, our captain, is one of the fastest and best forwards ever seen on any
girls' team. She can take any position on the team and take it better than any one else.
She played stationary center part of the time last year and guard during the last of the
season. A sigh is heard among the rooters when she gets the ball, a sigh not of sorrow,
but of joy; for they know she will do great things.
Lucille Carr is a little wonder. Although she is small, she is by far the best high
school guard in the city. In almost every game she had to guard a girl who was head
and shoulders taller than herself; but she did not mind a little thing like that, because
she could jump, my, but she could jump! And quick! why, she never would let her
forward get away from her!
Mary Butler, the other guard, is quick and good. She stands a close second to
Lucille as best guard in the city. She is the only member of the team, who did not play
basket ball last year.
Alma Melzer, our manager, plays jumping center this year, while last year she
played forward. Her practice at forward has made it possible for her to throw baskets
from the center field. She is tall and a good jumper and thus added greatly to the
strength of the team.

Elizabeth Sutton, with her level head and good sense, makes a fine stationary center.

As long as the ball i&lt;~ within her boundaries, she is with it and so is always to be depended
upon.
Frances Hoyt started the season as our first substitute, but by the end of the season
had so much improved that she was put on the first team as stationary center.

Frances

made several sensational plays in the game with the freshmen at University Park.
Grace Bartholomew, a good, steady forward, played last year in this position and
!eldom missed a basket.

It was not because she

did not play a good game that it was her only one, but because all of the regular team
were there for every other game.
Altogether about twenty-two girls were out for basket ball this year, and there are
prospects for a fine team next year.

Addie Cronan deserves special mention for her

excellent playing on the second team.

HOUGH this is only the second year of the Girls' Athletic Association, it ha~
prospered wonderfully in this short time. Last year the girls played basketball,
tennis, and had walking expeditions; this year they have, so far, taken up tennis
and basketball, with hopes of a baseball team and some manner of field sports.
A short time after school commenced a meeting of all the girls of the school was
held to elect the directors of the Association.
A board was chosen, consistmg of two representatives from each class; also a
''head girl," who was to have charge of all the girls' athletics. The following were
chosen:
"Head Girl"-Alma Melzer.
Seniors-Alma Melzer and Lolita Snell.
Juniors-Nan Gutshall and Margaret Garver.
Sophomores-Alberta Wells and Norma \Vheeler.
Freshmen-Marguente House.
On the board, Margaret Garver was elected president; Norma Wheeler, vice-presi·
dent; Lohta Snell, secretary; and accordmg to the constitution, which provides for a
treasurer and three directors, to be appointed by Mr. Smiley, Miss Sabin was chosen
treasurer, and Miss Cohen, Miss Sabm, and Miss Kennan, directors.
The Class of 19 10 extends Its heartiest good wishes to the Association, and hopes
that it will continue to improve, even m~re than it has this year.

Although East Denver did not have a championship team, yet she had one to be
proud of. The team was made up of men full of vigor and snap, and it was not their
\\'eakness which prevented them from capturing the pennant but the others' strength.
"Bud" Griffin. one of the forwards, is one of the fastest men who has ever plaved
high school basket ball in the state. He is cool, steady. and always keeps his head.
Bob Dewey. the captain, also deserves the greatest praise.
At the beginning of the season, East Denver wa defeated by both Manual and
orth Denver, but in the next game took a brace, and for the remainder of the seaso11
1
held up \'ery creditably the honor of the school.
The final record showed East Denver tied with North Denver for second place,
with Manual in the lead·
The following members of the team received monograms: Dewey, captain and
guard; Beales, center; Bleistein, forward; Gnffin, forward; Hawkins, guard; Rickner,
center: Shotwell, guard; Wells, forward; and Jimmy Cowles, manager .

Mr. Kester believes in making up for lost time, out of school as well as in. At
least so tt would seem from the way he taught the innocent members of his basket ball
to dissipate after their long term of training. Kept them up till two o'clock in the
morning, just think of it, and-but just wait a moment. As soon as he got the bunch
coralled in his room at the Y. M. C. A .• he herded them off to a five cent show, presumably to give his first assistant, whoever it might have been, a chance to get things
started in the buffet kitchen in connection with the boys' department at the "Y·" Anyway,
when they got back things were booming away at a great rate, and the assistant was
gone. Mr. Kester bade the youths amuse themselves at pool. at checkers, at singing,
or cutting up as much as they wanted, and gave them the privilege, which was half the
fun, of helping prepare the feed that was to follow. And say, that feed! Why, your
secret feasts at boarding school, your glorious spreads at college, simply weren't in it
with this midnight orgy-banquet would more fully express it-starting with soup,
skipping nothing, and ending only when the youths could eat no more, and their desire
to catch the two o'clock owl sent them off, thinking Mr. Kester a prince of a fellow,
!he best of entertainers, and capable of holding down a job as chef in the classiest
of French cafes.

A promising innovation into interscholastic athletics was made this year in the form
of hockey. Weeks of col9 weather and day after day of good skating created the
idea among the boys of East Denver of forming a hockey team. A meeting was called and
Dorsey Davts was elected captain, and George Van chaack, manager. The rink
of the Curhs street playgrounds was secured for practice, but a sudden warm spell and
the Christmas vacation interrupted it.
After vacation the irregularity of the weather prevented the formation of a team.
It is hoped that the practice will begin in time next year. that a league will be formed
and a schedule arranged. Among those who reported for practice were: Davt • Van
Schaack, Pue, Well~ Young, and Sweet.

OUR STUDENT MANAGERS.

It seems that East Denver has been unusually fortunate th1s year in her selection of
the different athletic managers from among the students.
During the early part of the year Philip Alexander was appointed football
manager, and he certainly (pardon the expression) "d1d it up right." Next, J ame3
Cowles had the honor of holding the position of basket ball manager, and it goes withou~
saying that with "Jim" at the head, there was more spirit than has been shown in
basket ball for a good many seasons. Alma Melzer acted as basket ball manager for
the girls' teams, and certainly was an unusually fine one. Although Stuart Sweet
has hardly had time to show us what he can do as track manager, we all know that
when tuart undertakes a job, it' s bound to come out right. Last but far from least,
Carlyle Campbell, our former star pitcher, is baseball manager, and, although the season
has hardly begun, more money has already been taken in than has often in years past
been collected during a whole season.
The class of 191 0 wishes to congratulate these people for the unusual interest
they have manifested, and to thank them for the good they have done the school·

�"A Nrw Qlnmman~mrnt 31 ~iur llntn lnu"
The short winter day was fading away; numberless stars began to glimmer through
the dusk.
1 he dead trees spread their snow-sprinkled branches in the most beautiful
de:igns. Not a sound could be heard anywhere. Everything was solemn and awem~piring. Suddenly something stirred the air; it was the knell of the country church bells.
Strcnger and louder it came, almost imperiously it carried the message that Christ was
born. And then- one might have thought that it changed its mind, as if feanng that the
good villagers be overcome by the solemnity of its announcement- it subsided mlo a sweet
and melodious chime, summoning the Godfearing people to church for thank~giving and
prayer. Allhough every one answered the summons with thoughtfulness that befitted the
occasion, in yonder red-brick mansion there was a soul in a most rebellious state, even
though it belonged to a sixteen year old girl.
''I am very sorry that I cannot please you this time, N1anushka," the girl was saying
to her kind old nurse, "for almost a year a hard struggle has been going on within me·
1 did not know whether to believe in the hypocritical and superstitious which was sanctioned by custom and slate, or to stay away from it all, or do what I thought was right.
And now when I am a little clearer within myself, I positively can't go back to live it
all over again. But, please, don't worry, ianushka, though I am not going to church
on this sacred night, as did my mother, her mother, and my mother's mother's mother,
I feel that I am not altogether a sinner. For the commandment 'Love thy neighbor as
thyself has a much stronger hold on me now, than it ever had before. I could readily
~ve up everything, even my life, if it would be of any use to any one else."
A note of s:1dness was perceptible in her voice. For a minute her beautiful blue
eyes wandered, then she resumed:
"You know best, Nianushka, how kind and noble my two brothers are. They not
only love all humamly, but they also protect and shelter birds and animals."
"Yes, yes, Varienka, dear," said the old lady, shaking her head, "like a lady
they treat me, though I am nothing but a poor, common peasant woman. God bless
them!"
"Let us offer a prayer that we may be delivered from those godless, atrocious,
good-for-nothing student~. who prejudice the people against our little father, the Czar,
the anointed by divine right. 0, Lord, mayest Thou strike them with Thy wrath and
just anger, so that nothing remain of them but their memory, as a warning to future
generations, Amen." These were the very words Batushka prayed. "Do you wonder
that I don't go to church?' "
Again the old lady shook her head and said, "May the good Lord have you in
His keepmg, dear Varienka." Then to herself, "Who would have thought of criticising
a priest in my day?"
"But what IS the use of talking and musing," Vanenka exclaimed, shaking off old
memories. "In two hours my brothers will be here. 0, how I love those two 'atrocious'
students!" ~he cried out, and throwing her arms about the kind old nurse, spun her around
the big hall, which was ready for the reception of Boris and Foma, Varienka's brothers.
They were seniors in the big St. Petersburg University, and the aged N1ana was as
proud of them as if they were her own.
"N1anushka," said the girl, petting her fondly, "run along and tell Ivan to get the
~leigh ready, for it is about time to go to meet my brothers."
In half an hour, Varienka, dressed in costly furs, went out into the beautiful winter
night, that she might be the first one to greet her brothers with a "Merry Christmas."
Swiftly and smoothly sped the sleigh over the glittering and untrodden snow. Th¢
star-studded heavens and the white snow made it as light as day. All that could be
heard was the jingling of the little bells with which the harness was ornamented.
But no matter how fast the little bells were ringing, they could not keep pace with
the joyous tumult in V arienka 's heart. For were not her brothers coming home? They
would help her to be::ome reconciled to her God. She could not believe that God was
so cruel and merciless as B:1tushka F eodoter pictured him to be.
f95 ]

�........

Thus musing she came to the station. Af!er . wa1tmg a littl.e while in the poorly
equipped waiting room, the loud puffing and wh1stlmg of the engme could be heard i~
the distance. V arienka stepped out on the platform ; a few minutes later four strong ann~
wound themselves about her.
While they are waiting for Ivan, the driver, who is getting the baggage, let u1
observe them in the glare of the gaslights.
Though they do not look a particle alike, they are both typical Russian studenll.
Alert, quick in action, generous, noble, persistent, and with a touch of dry humor.
Boris was a tall, slender, but muscular young man of twenty-five, with black hair
and eyes, Grecian features, and a manly voice. His sensitive and well-shaped hands
indicated the scholar.
F om a looked more like his sister. On his upper lip there was just the slightest
suggestion of a mustache. The whole face glowed with youth. In his good blue eye~
shone a soft and kindly expression, which seemed to say that to their owner everythind
in this world seemed good, bright, and pure as he himself· Beside him Boris looked much
older, though he was Foma's senior by only two years.
The baggage was finally located and the order ''Home, please ! '' given.
On the way home but few words were spoken among the three. Their hearts
were too full for speech. Each one was oppressed by the same thought, though none
mentioned it. Only two years ago their gentle and loving parents were there to greet
them. But alas! now there were two snow-covered graves under which they were sleeping
their last sleep.
Their father had been a military doctor, and when the Russo-Japanese war broh
out, he, with the rest of his friends, went towards Port Arthur. Their mother, hearing
that her husband was wounded, left her little daughter in the care of the good nurse,
stopped in St. Petersburg to say goodby to her sons, then went to take care of her hus·
band. While bending over him to administer some medicine a bullet passed through a
window pane, and then as if intending to be well spent, killed wife and husband.
But the nature of youth is such that it cannot remain in one mood very long. And
as the young people neared their destination, their thoughts became more and more
cheerful, brightened by the hospitable lights of their own home.
Having kissed the old Nianushka, shaken hands with all the household people, and
asked after everyone's health, they made themselves comfortable before the hearth on
which pine logs were crackling merrily.
Asking about the neighbors, the brothers incidentally spoke of Batushka F eodoter.
and inquired whether he preached a good sermon {to which task they knew he was never
equal). Simply and bravely she told them that she had not been in church for a long
time, and therefore did not hear any of Batushka's sermons.
"What!" Boris and F oma simultaneously exclaimed {meanwhile exchanging a
mischievous wink). "Our dear little sister leaving the mother church!"
Briefly she told them of all that had come to pass in the church for the last year,
and how Batushka had commanded her not to love even her own brothers, because the ·
were heretics.
The brothers now changed their attitude and listened attentively to the words of
their sister, and when she had finished they told her that it was her turn to listen.
In effective and enthusiastic words they told her of the good, beautiful, and heroic
work of the students. How charitable, patient, and loving they always were to everyont'.
They also told her not to be angry with Batushka, because he was just an ignorant tool
in the hands of tyranny.
"Do you remember the paragraph in John that we liked so well? 'A new corn·

The Minerva Literary Society has prospered greatly this year under the directorship
of Mrs. Grant and Miss Hood. They both have the best interest of the society at hear~
and we owe them our hearty thanks for their careful and loving supervision.
Minerva consists of seventy-five members from the three upper classes, only those
of high standing and good deportment being admitted. The purposes are: the attalnrne
of a wider acquaintance with great authors and their works, practice in the art of ~·
pression, the acquirement of a better knowledge of current topics, and the good fellowsh~
derived from the social life among the girls.
During the first year of the society studies were made of Wagner, Sargent, Rodin.
McDowell, Stevenson, and others. The work of the second year consisted chiefly in
the study of the national holidays, and some time was also given to debating. M~s
Chambers and Miss Hood directed the society these two years; but when Miss Chambers
left the school, Mrs. Grant was chosen director in her place. Last year the work consisted of a "Study of Italy" and debating. Many good talks were made.
There was somewhat of a change in our work this year. From September to
February we took up things of more immediate interest to us. Talks were made on the
school building and on each room in turn, including discussions of the pictures and
statuary. Then the water company of Denver was taken up and studied in all ib
different branches. The telephone system was treated in the same way, and sever~
talks were given on other municipal subjects. The Minerva Journal, containing much ol
interest, is read at each meeting.
The Christmas program was especially good. Although many of the meetings
have been open to the girls of the school. the Christmas meeting was open to everyone,
and a great many attended. The program was as follows :
The Misuse of Christmas . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Donelda Grant

The chorus consisted of Louise Gray, Alta Estey, Frances Hoyt, Gladys Galer.
Ida Auld, Elizabeth Sutton, Helen Bruhn, Helen Carpenter, Madelyn Keezer, Mane
Bellmar, Edith Hopkins, and Lolita Snell.
The officers of the first term were Alma Melzer, president; Alice Oliver, vice-pre51dent; Nan Gutshall, secretary; Marjory Long, treasurer; Flossie Crannell, editor; Helen
Phelps, assistant; F ranees Hoyt, editor-at-large; Lucie Smith, senior representative, and
Sophia Ellsberg, junior representative. Upon the resignation of Flossie Cranne and
Helen Phelps, Lucie Smith was appointed editor; Hattie Ensign, assistant editor; and
Ethel Rankin, senior representative.
Enough praise cannot be given Alma Melzer for her splendid work. Minem
enjoyed a most prosperous term under her leadership.
The officers of this second term are: Mary Butler, president; Helen Phelps, vice·
president; Hope Landin, secretary; Jennie Davis, treasurer; Ethel Rankin, editor; Lolita
Snell, assistant editor; Lucie Smith, editor-at-large; Anna Hyde, senior representat~·e.
and Hattie Ensign, junior representative.
The Minerva girls are all looking forward to the entertainment which will be g~e:
May 28. The play the girls gave last year was a great success; and, if Fortune favo
us again this year, we hope to make this entertainment even more successful than the Ill!.
Although the Minerva Literary Society is still in its childhood, it can give
a good beginning in expressing ourselves before the public, an opportunity for overcom~
bashfulness, and good habits and ideals to carry with us through live. Long live Minef\1

The one contest which gives the girls of the East Denver High School an oppor·
tunity to train themselves for public declamation, was established in 1879, by the
Honorable H. R. Wolcott. This contest occurs annually at the close of the winter
term. The readers are chosen at a trial reading, by ballot of their schoolmates. The
prize is a bronze medal.
The contest has for its object the cultivation and promotion of all the principles of
good reading. Though at first offered for prepared reading, the pnze has, since 1903,
been awarded to the most efficient sight reader. This change was probably made to
avoid dramatic and oratorical display.
Places on the program are assigned by lot.

Each girl has half an hout immediately

before the contest in which to look over her sele::tion, which has been especially chosen
for her by Mr. Smiley and Miss Hood.
This year, fifteen girls belonging to the class of 191 0 participated in the preliminary
reading for the thirty-fitst contest.

The six chosen to represent the class in the finals

were: Lolita Snell. Mary Butler, Fannie Atlivaick, Leila Kinney. Leonore Ryan, and
Anna Hyde. The prize was given to Helen Erma Carpenter. a junior· Though th1
lost forever the opportunity for a member of our class to win the medal. we have every
cause to be proud of every one of our representatives.
The other girls who took part on this year's program were: Edna La Favor, Helen
Erma Carpenter. and Sophia Ellsberg. of the second class; and Ada Athvaick, Myrtle
Young, and Rebecca Frank, of the third class.

�When the East Denver High School Congress was founded, on February 3rd.
1904, no one suspected or even dreamed, that it would develop into the powerful legislative assembly that it has. Great interest has been shown this year both in the attendance
at the meetings, and in the heated discussions that have taken place for and against the
bill of the evening.
We feel, however, that our advance this year is due almost wholly to the wise
and thoughtful guidance of Mr. Granger.
When Mr. R1sley, the founder of Congress, left the school. he left the affairs of
Congress to Mr. Granger.
A teacher of History and Civil Government, and .:1
thorough student ot parliamentary law, Mr. Granger is particularly well fitted to be the
permanent president of the organization.
The members of Congress are the leaders in the literary and oratorical contests of
the school. Dunng the s1x years of its existence, its members have only once failed tccapture the Woodbury Medal. The members are taught parliamentary order in actual
practice, and, as far as public speaking is concerned, there is nothing that does them
more good.
The graduate members, frequently come back to visit
ongre. s, and are greatly
pleased with the advance that has been made. Indeed, some one aptly said that the
only place where "pro" and "con" were identical wa. in the words "progre~. " and

��Last year a triangular debating league was instituted, composed of Colorado Springs
High School. Pueblo Centennial, and East Denver.
According to the rules of the league, each school selects a negative and an affirmauve team, to speak on a popular national question, chosen by the league; the affirmative
side remains at home, the negative side goes to one of the other cities. In this way
debates on the same question can be held in the three cities on the same evening.
Last year the subject for debate was the "Ship Subsidy Bill." Our affirmative
team, composed of Marshall, Huffman, and Tall madge, lost in the debate with Pueblo
while our negative team, composed of Starkweather, Brinker, and Pivan, won at the
~prings.

The debate this year on the "Income Tax Bill," held on April 8th, was won by
our affirmative team in the debate with the Colorado Springs team. Our affirmative
team was composed of William King, Fred Cranston, and Fletcher Trunk, leader. The
negative team, composed of Harold Jeffery, David Stemen, and Earl Pivan, leader.
was defeated by the Pueblo Centennial boys.
The Congress banquet last year was held in the Albany Hotel. Mr. Smiley, Mr.
Granger, Mr. Potter, and Mr. Kester were present. Starkweather was toastmaster.
This year the banquet was held at the Auditorium Hotel. Robert Stearns was
toastmaster. The same members of the faculty were present as at last year's banquet.
Mr. Smiley gave us a short talk and the other speakers of the evening were Will Shafroth,
Fred Cranston, William King, Harold Jeffery, George Kassler, Herbert Wilkins,
hiro Taketa, Sidney Doll, David Stemen, Edgar Williams, and Stuart Sweet. Th~
banquet was a great success.

�The Woodbury Declamation Contest was established m October, I 8 7 5. The Hon.
R. W. Woodbury was desirous of promoting the interests of the High School, and
believing that the benefit derived from declamations was valuable, donated the prize.
At first this consisted of a sum of money, but it was later changed to a gold medal. The
contest occurs every year at the close of the fall term. The speakers are chosen at
trial contest by ballot of their schoolmates. The contestants this year were: David
Stemen, Arnold Weinberger, Albert Adams, Haines Lee, Grover Kinn~y. Wilham
Shafroth, ] acob Hursch, Philhp Adams, Samuel Rubin, Isadore Weinstem, and Kenaz
Huffman. The committee of award was: Mr. Ralph Vorhees, Dan B. Carey, £5~ ..
and Earl M. Cranston, Esq.

This year the prize was awarded to Isadore W einstein, a freshman . His selection was Patrick Henry's
spee~h before the House of Burgesses. This was the
first time the prize has ever gone out of the junior 01
senior classes. Much interest is always shown in the
Woodbury Contest, and this, the twenty-seventh, was
no exception. Some of the best speeches ever delivered,
were gn en this year.
Last year the contest was won by Herbert W,Jkins,

It had been a busy day at General Alton's headquarters in the heart of the little
city of Jackson, Tenn., where he had established his camp. 1--kre, long after taps had
sounded, the lights at his desk gave evidence that the officer in command was still uneasy
after the others were asleep.
An orderly noiselessly entered the room. Silently he saluted and waited for some
sign of recognition. He had to wait for some time before the genera 1. without lookini
up. said, "Well, Orderly?"
"Colonel Curtis presents his compliments to General Alton, begs to report matters
of importance, and asks an immediate interview."
The general laid down his pen. "Show him in," he said.
fu the colonel entered General Alton rose, and the two grave-faced men looked
at each other. "General Alton," began the sharp voice of Colonel Curtis, "a prisoner,
a spy, has been arrested attempting to pass the lines. When he was searched a complete
drawing of the fortifications and papers bearing information on supplies, conditions of
the men, and so forth, were found concealed under a false sole."
The general turned a face full of interest to the other and said, "That's bad, very
bad, but tell me something of the personality of the prisoner."
"I did not see him until after the search, and the evidence that he was a spy was
established. He is a mere youth, not more than twenty years old, and from his accent
I should judge that he is a native of this section of the country. He has had good
training as a soldier; but I think, and the other officers agree with me, that it is the
work of an expert with time and knowledge of detail that such a boy could not have.''
The same thought was in the minds of both men. The general. of course, must
order court-martial. which must pass the death sentence on this lad, who, after all, was
but doing the hardest and most undesired duty a soldier is called on to do: the work of
a spy.
There was a long silence which was at length broken by General Alton. "I
have decided," he said, "to give the prisoner his life on condition that he tells all he
knows about the papers."
At the close of the interview the general said, "There will be a hearing at 7:30 tomorrow morning, and in the meanwhile see that the prisoner is comfortable. Good night."
General Alton was alone again. "Can it be," he said half aloud and half to
hJmself, "that, in all the world, there is a man so base as to sell, for money, the informa·
tion a soldier would die to preserve?"
Meanwhile the prisoner, in his well guarded tent, spent one of those never-to-beforgotten nights. There was little doubt as to his fate, and he waited impatiently for
the hour of interview. He longed for his uniform to wear. In that gray, and all i£
meant to him, he could better face the worst.
The officers were earnestly talking when the prisoner was announced. General
Alton turned toward the boy with keen scrutiny. "You understand, do you not, that
you are under the gravest charge of military law," he began.
"I do." was the calm reply.
The examination then began with, "What is your name?"
"William Davis. suh."
"Where do you live?"
"My home is in Glendale."
[ 107 l

�The general paused in the examination and when he again began his voice had
lost much of its sternness. "Mr. Dav1s, may I ask, is your father's name Edwin Davis,
and was he first lieutenant in the old I 6th Virginia in the Mexican war?"
The prisoner looked up with surprise m his face; then a smile of pleasure warmed
it. "Yes, suh, that is my father. It was the delight of my childhood to hear him tell
his stories of army life. Then when this war broke out I couldn't study in school, I had
to be a soldier. I was in that last big battle and did my best to get an honorable men.
tion, but I failed; and then, when it was necessary to get certain information, I volunteered
for I knew every spot of the country, and I was given my chance." His voice faltered
a little; "I did my best, General, but I failed ."
"It is a sad thing, this fortune of war," the general said, "but we have to do our
duty. Now we all feel confident that this is not your work, but that of an experienced
person. As commander here, I am prepared to offer you your life on condition that
you tell everything: the name and rank of those who supplied you with the information.
Of course, you must be your own judge as to whether you can, in honor, reveal what
we ask you. You have an hour to think this over. Orderly, show the prisoner into
another room, and if he wishes to speak with me at any time, bring him here."
William Davis, alone in his room, faced the situation. The traitor was utterly
unworthy to be protected by his silence. Should he save his own life? He prayed for
an answer. Then suddenly he thought of the last words his father had spoken at parting:
"Always remember, a soldier's honor comes first of all things."
"No! God help me, no l" he cried in anguish. "I gave him my word l"
"Corporal, I wish to speak to General Alton at once:· he said to the orderly.
"General Alton, I have made my decision. I cannot tell, I cannot break my
..
wor d.

.

"My boy," said the general, "you did not get your honorable mention in that last
battle, but you have won it now. There are not many who would give their lives for
their honor. I respect you for your choice. For your father's sake. and for your own
sc:.ke, I will try my best to save your life."
Next morning a court-martial was held; but, contrary to General Alton's wishe~
and his honorable mention, the evidence was so strongly against the prisoner that he was
found guilty and sentenced to death.

Since the class of 191 0 has been at East Denver, the growth of the Cadets has
been remarkable. During the last three years there has been an average annual increase
in numbers of more than fifty per cent, and the discipline and spirit of the organization
have increased correspondi~ly.
The Cadets were organized in 1874 by Captain Fischer, and the first Company had
as members such men as General Irving Hale and Judge Steele. The former of these
akerwards graduated from West Point with the highest record ever made up to that
time. In 190 7 Major ] ames E. Hutchingson W.ls appointed Commandant of Cadets
and during the three years of his control. the East Denver organization has increased from
one very small company to two large ones.
Besides the regular bi-weekly drills and the .. officers' school," the different companies
in the city are clubs affiliated with the National Rifle Association, and a silver cup and
many medals are offered for the best shooting.
The East Denver companies are
workmg hard to win a large share of these prizes· Frequent practice marches are taken
through the nearby country, when simple military problems are worked out.
There was a most delightful reception tendered the Cadets by the Y. M. C. A.; but
the chief social feature of the Cadet life is the annual banquet. The third of these
was held at the Albany Hotel on December the third, when about three hundred Cadets
and Cadet admirers gathered at the sound of .. mess call" for a very enjoyable evening.
Captain Fischer, of the original organization; General Chase, General Kelly, and
Captain Strickland, all of the National Guard, were among the prominent men who
~poke in response to the calls of the toastmaster, Captain 1-Lenry S. Sweet, the senior
captain.
Later in the year comes the Third Annual Military Display, in which East Denver
hopes to retain the old and win many new prizes.
The Cadet camp at the close of the school year is the event to which all the other
things merely lead up. The camp last year was held at Palmer Lake, and all who went
declared that they never enjoyed themselves so much, and that they will not miss this
year's outing.
The commissioned officers at East Denver this year are: Major, Sidney F. Doll;
Captain, Henry S. Sweet, Company A; Captain F. Edgar Williams, Regimental
Adjutant; Captain, Samuel R. Howe, Regimental Quartermaster; Captain Earl A.
Pivan, Company F, Latin School; I st Lieutenants, Romeo Lindenbaum, Company A,

�HE Girls' Chorus Club is still in existence and doing fine work under the leadership
of Mr. Wh1teman. The girls are not heard from as often as the boys, yet th,.y
spend considerable time and study on the works of famous composers. while the
boys sing the less serious songs which appeal to the funny side of one's nature.
The Girls' Chorus Club was organized six years ago by Mr. Whiteman, who spends
one afternoon a week, during the third and fourth quarters, in training them for
the Wolcott contest and also for the graduahng exercises.
The club has a number of remarkable voices in it this year and bids fair to become
the best it has ever been. The first sopranos are exceptionally strong.
"Music hath charms to sooth"- someone has truthfully said ; and when, tired from
the routine of school work, the girls assemble to practice their songs, it takes their
minds off their studies long enough to rid them of that "tired feeling."
The officers of the club this year are: Lolita Snell, librarian; Elizabeth Sutton,
president; Louise Gray, vice-president; Alta Estey, secretary; and F ranees Hoyt, treasurer.
First sopranos- Catherine Moncrieff, Louise Gray, Frances Hoyt, Hazel Taylor,
Ella Duncan, and Elizabeth Hoyt.
Second sopranos- Inez Cobbey, Alta Estey, Ruth Nance, Elfreda Bruhn, and

��Ever since .• II! sr hool was foe. ·ded it has had some sort of musical club, as a chorus
club, a mandolin club, or an orchestra. Since 1905 the boys of the school have had
an organized glee club, founded by some enthusiastic members of the senior class of
that year, under the direction and guidance of Mr. Arundel. It has performed at all
the cadet entertainments, and the oratorical and reading contests, and has always been a
source of much enjoyment and pleasure.
This year, rehearsals began earlier than usual, and great interest was shown. A5
the club is comt&gt;osed of sixteen wide-awake boys, there is little wonder as to the progre
it has made. Much credit is due to the members; but the one who has made and kept
the club alive and in a condition worthy of his leadership is Mr. Arundel. Never failing
to be present, and always enthusiastic, he has kept the flame of interest burning throughout
the whole year.
One little blaze burst forth at the senior Hallowe'en party. Only the senior
members sang on this occasion, assisted by Mr. Pitts and Mr. Kester. They, w1th Mr.
Arundel were certainly the blue ribbon costume winners of the evening. When the
effects of this effort had been sufficiently overcome, the club started to prepare for the
senior play. It took a great deal of kindling to prepare for this, the final conflagration.
But when it came about it was found to be well worth the effort and trouble it had coJ.
Eight of the heaviest voices of the club, aided by Mr. Pitts and Mr. Kester, forming a
double quintette, gave several numbers that even eclipsed those sung by the entire club
The songs "Kemo-Kimo" and "Zip! Bang! It hit the mark," (with Mr. P1tts strong
on the "Meow!") were the hits of the evening.
The members of the Glee Club are: Howard Shotwell, Albert Adams, Her~rt
Wilkins, Russell Wells, Milton Allen, Robert Kolinsky, William Cutts, Lewis Dick.

�Don't you remember the day that you started to high school? Of couLe you do.
If you were a boy, you probably had on your first long trousers; and you had learned
on the sly to smoke a pipe. And you, girls! Oh, my! D1dn't you have on you 1
first really long dress? It was the greatest day of your life, that day in September when
you left the atmosphere of the grammar school, and stepped into the realms of Lati'l
and rubber-heeled teachers; of hastily conned lessons and hastily crammed lunches: of
senates and debates, and football enthusiasm.
Instinctively you developed an antipathy for anything related to "Manual."
Before you were even familiar with the Latin vowels, you knew exactly the proper wav
to turn up your nose at the "trainer." Incidentally, you began to use such expressions
as "flunk," "gym," "prof," with the ease of an old timer.
When you saw the pledge cards, your heart sank to your shoes with a dull thud.
For you had cherished dreams of becoming a popular "frat" member. And the only
crumb of comfort you derived from the situation was the thought that you would have
a good excuse if you didn't get a "bid."
Of course you bought the biggest, shmiest tin lunch box you could find, and embelished it with E. D. H. S , in large, straggly letters, blissfully ignorant of the fact
that by doing so you branded yourself "Freshie" as certainly as if you had proclaimrd
it from the highest building in town.
You felt your new dignity strongly when you met an old acquaintance who is still
in grammar school; you greeted her with an air of patronage, which said plamly that yuu
had left all childish things behind, and could never again be on an equality with her.
But your pride was doomed to have a hard fall. Two juniors on the car made
very scathing remarks, in a perfectly audible undertone, about the "Fresh," who, you
knew only too well, was yourself· And after this your conceit oozed out in large quantities. You found that Seniors have little use for Freshmen, except to sell them ticket
to football games or Senior plays. So you resigned yourself to your fate and tried hard
study. For what F reshrnan has not consumed the midnight gas, wrestling with simple {?)
equations, mumbling conjugations of model verbs, or perhaps wondering vaguely whv

�Hannibal had to cross the Alps? Is there one who has not grinded and digged and
!tudied the whole quarter, having sweet dreams of A's, and then been rewarded by the
commonplace B. or the unsatisfactory C? I doubt it.
So the year has passed, and your feeling of importance has dwindled away to a
mere nothing. You realize that those exalted beings called Seniors, whom you formerly
adored, were once as obscure as you.
Next year you will be a Sophomore; and when you see poor, meek, bewildered
Freshmen prowling around the wrong corridor, you will take pity on them, and direct
them to the proper place, thereby relieving their discomfiture, won't you? Not on your
life! You will do your best to make them uncomfortable, grinning fiendishly in anticipation of their confusion, or smiling sheepishly at the memory of your own Freshman
antics.
But what does it matter? Sophs and Seniors, and Juniors, all must have their fun,
and the Freshman is the goat. So here's to the F reshm:m. May you all have mean
tricks played upon you, and in your turn, play meaner ones on the Freshman who comes
toddling after you.

schoolmates. have met these requirements has been fully shown during the course of
the year. If succeeding Head Boys and Girls come up to the high standard set by
these officers. this will certainly become a fixed institution of the school.

On the evening of April 22nd, in the Woman's Club Building, the senior cia
presented a vaudeville show, thus giving another proof of the energy, originality, and
ability for which it was already famous.
All the performers, with the exception of Shiro's assistant, were members of the
senior class.
The one-act farce was very clever and entertaining, and the parts exceptionally weli
interpreted. Carlisle Thomas, Alma Melzer, Mary Butler, Russell Wells, and Harry
Deisher made up the cast.
The .. School Kids," a singing and dancing act copied from Gus Edward's School
Boys and Girls created great merriment.
The .. kids" were:
Jeannette Bartlett,
Gwendolyn White, Gertrude Cleveland, Eleanor Means, Ruth Brown, Clinton Carney,
James Cowles, Gilbert McDonough, Merrill Hawkins, Will Shafroth; and the teache:
was William King.
The musical family consisting of Ell ida Anderson, Madelyn Keezer, Fletcher
Trunk, and Joseph Bloom, was one of the most enjoyable numbers on the program.
Shiro Taketa and his Japanese friend gave a whirlwind exhibition of the Japanese
wrestling art.
The headliners , if that is possible in an all-star bill, was the minstrels. The clever
wit and the songs were thoroughly appreciated. In the minstrels were: Clinton Carney,
Russell Wells, Clarke Gallup, Milton Allen, Fletcher Trunk, Robert Stearns, Herbert
Wilkins, Howard Shotwell, Glenn Robinson, James Bowler, Robert Kolinsky, Clarence
Brown, Carlyle Campbell, and Walter Newton.
After the show there was a dance in the ballroom, where punch was served.
A great deal of credit is due the committee in charge, which consisted of Harry
Deisher, chairman, Gilbert McDonough, Russell Wells, Ruth Brown, Helen Phelps,
and Ethel Rankin.

When we think of the material contained in the class of 1909, we cease to wonder
that its members have become so successful and prominent in whatever work they may
have taken up. When they were just one class ahead of us, we did not realize that
they were very different from us; but as we observe them now, we wonder how we will
ever keep up the fine record that they and other alumni have established.
We see them in many parts of the country; but in every place and occupation
they have proved a credit to the school. East Denver's Alumni have always brought
the school great credit. A great number of last year's class went to the University of
Denver. Among them are: Frances Brown, Harriette Brown, Edna Cantril, Benne!
Mead, Clara Mozzor, Kate Howland, Willard Banks, Katherine Sheldon, Edna Hills.
Elizabeth M cClear, Max Melville, and Russell Havighorst.

�I was seated down in Room S1xteen,
Not knowing what to write;
When suddenly there came a thought
Which brought to me delight.

For what subject was there worthier
The labor of a pen,
Than the staid and reverend seniors,
The class of 191 0.

Four years ago we entered
On the joys of high school life,
We were freshmen then and all our day
Were full of toil and strife.

For the sophomores would treat us
With the loftiest disdain;
And with algebra, and Latin,
We had to rack our brain.

But next year we, as sophomores,
Had sweet revenge at last;
And looked then with amusement
Upon our freshmen past.

Our sophomore and junior years
Sped rapidly away;
I l seemed that we had risen
To be seniors in a day.

This last, our senior year, has been
The brightest of them all;
Our members won distinction
On the field, and in the hall.

In after years when we look back
Upon our record. then
We'll be proud that we were members
Of the Class of 191 0.

ARE YOU GOING TO COLLEGE? I
No doubt you ha\e made some plans for the near future, and whether
you fimsh your course in college now or later, it is well for you to begin
to think about the financial responsibilities of life.
If you continue your course in college, when you have finished, you
must be ready for business. Your college course may determine your business career. Make the best of it. Show your ability as a financier by
saving part of your allowance, be it large or small. Create a sinking fund,
because you will want to go into busmess for yourself.
Open an account with The Continental Trust Company and your
savings will grow rapidly if you keep adding to your first deposit. We will
help you, by paying four per cent. interest per annum, and compounding
the interest every six months.

�MR. WILLIAM H. SMILEY, Principal

"The vocation of a teacher and educator is not an easy one, by any means; but
Mr. Smiley loves it.
He possesses self-denial, perseverance, energetic activity and
enthusiasm, and an inexhaustible amount of patience and devotion to the work of his
chosen profession.
During the past twenty-five years, Mr. Smiley was not crowned with wealth; he
did not enjoy the luxury of ease or that of a fortune; but his crown is a far more enduring
one, because it can be said of him, that in e\ery touch upon the life of the young, he
has lifted up.
The very thought makes me happy, that the citizens of Denver will honor this
man, who has been a magnifying power of his profession, not by boasts, but by works;
not by pretensions, but by results; not by mere show, but by worth; not by high-sounding
words, but by genuine deeds.
Let the citizens of Denver, one and all, honor this teacher and educator! They
cannot do too much for him; for, whatever they may do, they will do it for themselves,
because he is the friend of their children."
(Extract from letter recei,ed from Prof. J. H. Kappes, former teacher of this
school, concerning the movement to celebrate the twenty-fifth anniversary of Mr. Smiley's
work in East Denver.)

��1!tfultrr &lt;n. .Arun~r 1.
By the death of Walter Charles Arundel, which occurred Feb. 1, 191 1, the educational fraternity of Demer and of the State suffered a great loss. His death came as
a great shock to all h1s friends and acquaintances. Although he had been ill for some
months, the seriousness of his illness was not realized until about two weeks before his
death.
Mr. Arundel was born in Eynesbury, Huntingdonshire, England, April 15, 1854.
His secondary education he received at the Wesleyan ollege in Taunton. He taught
a year or two and then entered upon his residence in Exeter College, Oxford, receiving
his degree from that university in 1886. He spent two years as a student in the Leipsic
hortly
onservatory of Music, continuing his study of German at the same time.
thereafter, he came to Denver and in eptember, 1888, became a member of the faculty
of the East Denver High School.
Here he taught French, German, and Latin and had general charge of all the
musical acti\ities of the school. His service in the High chool has been continuous,
with the one exception of a two-months lea\e of absence granted in 1908, to \isit the
schools of England, as a member of the National ivic Federation Commission. At this
time he visited many of the leading schools in England and also in F ranee, bringing back
a very clear and encouraging account, making many keen and helpful observations, which
later he embodied in a report to the Board of Education.
Throughout his life in Denver, he has been identified with musical effort, having
been organist and choirmaster in some one of the Episcopal churches of the city for many
years. He is remembered with pleasure and gratitude by the members of these congregations for his strict adherence to classical standards. He was a member of the Colorado
choolmasters' Club, the High chool Masters' Guild, of which he was a charter member,
the Alliance F rancaise and the Denver Teachers' Club.
Mr. Arundel was the type of man who can ill be spared in our Western institutions,
where there is such undue press and hurry to "get on." He once spoke of a man whom
he met as a "gentleman of the old school." Such a character he recognized in another
because he so well exemplified it in himself. A pupil once said, "It is worth while having
Mr. Arundel around o that we may see what a real gentleman is like." A fellow
teacher said that it would be difficult for any pupil to go through High School without
feeling the influence of his grace of manner and perfect courtesy.
He once defined "tact" for a pupil as "the moral sense of touch." He po essed
it himself to an unusual degree. His tactfulness and his scholarliness were the joy of
all his intimate friends. The pupils in his class-room were continually in an atmosphere
of quiet scholarship and sweet refinement that is seldom found as the product of a newer
ci\ilization.
Mr. Arundel always stood for the highest artistic ideals in music and believed that
it should have a more important place in education than is commonly given it. The many
pupils whom he taught in school and elsewhere have profited much by his delicate taste
and his keen appreciation of the best.

Ada C. Wilson,

When you look over these familiar faces do you still have that old, belligerent
feeling you had back in the fifth grade--that feeling that it made the "mean old teacher"
happy to think you had to go to school on Washington's Birthday, and that she actually
enjoyed sending home that hateful line of P's, the consequence of which was so impressive
that the recollection still lingers? If you have- forget it! It's about time that we were
beginning to realize that our teachers are and always have been our most faithful friends,
always willing to take into account our shortcomings, and ever ready with the helping
hand. Perhaps when in the past we so readily found fault with our teachers, we should
have looked for it in ourselves.
With their faults which are few and all their virtues which are many we know that
as we go through life we shall never find better friends than our teachers; and the class
of 191 I earnestly wishes to express its appreciation of their faithful, patient, and generous
services.

In the year of nineteen hundred seven the good ship "191 I" with a crew of youthful
helpers, left the old familiar port, and sailed out upon the Sea of Knowledge where all
was strange and new to them, in search of Graduation Isle. They were safe, however,
on this tumultous sea, because they had faithful Captain Smiley and his learned males
who constantly watched over and loelped them through all dangerous sailing.
One shore, at which they stopped, was infested by an unknown quantity of horrible
animals called Algebras that Chased them so hard and tirelessly that some of the crew
became discouraged and gave up the voyage.
After drifting along for awhile they came to the English Isle, where Ivanhoe and
his knights fought over the Lady of the Lake; and where Rip Van Winkle was taking
his nap. They also had quite a visit with Silas Marner, who proved to be a very interestmg man.
They next stopped at a shore where the people persisted in telling them their ancient
history from as far back as they knew.
Many people whom tioey encountered spoke languages entirely new to them, and
curiosity got the better of some of the crew; part of them endeavored to learn the language
called German, while others attempted to master French.
The more courageous members of the crew explored the Scientific Isle; and indeed,
courage was required, for over this island was a huge Cannon towering over the explorers
in a way which caused tloem all to tremble with fear, and when it spoke the whole Isle
shook.
After tiring of the ea they were sailing oYer and feeling able enough to go farther
into tre greater ~ea of Knowledge they turned into ti--e ophomore Channel which led
them nearer the sacred Isle for which they were bound.
As they sailed slowly down this channel, they saw on one shore a quiet little Park
which looked so peaceful and happy that trey decided to stop over for awhile and to
inspect tl-e place. It was inhabited by the English people and was just as quiet and
peaceful as it looked from the ship.
One of tre most interesting and enjoyable landings which we made while in
ophomore ~ea was at the land of Bethel, where we were granted permission to examine
and study tre select flowers and animals brought there from all parts of the world.
After spending three long months at Vacation Harbor, we sailed out into the rough
waters of junior ... ea. One morning we came upon two promentories, peninsulas of
Physics, or.e ruled over by cruel Mr. Parker, the other heartless Mr. Elder held.
Here we struggled and tried to find out if Induced Currents produced by Power and
Energy could make enough Fusion to start a Heat Engine, which would have enough
Accelerated Motion to defy the Laws of Gravitation and lift ed Durbin.
Our next stopping place was the Parisian City, where we had our tongues turned
inside out and spent weeks trying to pronounce monsieur.
orne even did more than this
and learned to say Oui.
5i

�Our other adventures on junior Sea were numerous, diversified and manifold, as
First Mate Pitts would say. We burned our tongues with red hot verbs on Spanish
Isle, presided over by the musical Mr. Clifford. We tasted the Salisbury in junior
English grove. We fought Advanced Algebras even more fierce than just plain Algebras.
The next vacation was spent at a resort, a nine months' journey from Graduation
Isle, eptember, 191 0, we sailed into enior ea, the grandest of them all. Our first
adventure was at the Latin No. 12 Island, Virgil's abode. Not every one went out on
this journey and luckily, too, for them; for many an adventurer was lost. They fell
headlong into the deep Pitts which were concealed all over the place. The weary ones,
those who cared and thought a great deal, came back in safety.
One gloomy morning Captain Smiley put us all ashore on enior English Plains.
Oh, what a jumble! Edmund Burke strode up and down the shore pouring forth a
three-hours' speech. We were forced to read pages and pages of poetry which we
could barely understand. Lumbering Dr. johnson conjured up words of only ten syllables. Little wonder many died from brain fever.
During the last year of our voyage many social functions were held on board.
We gave a great and large dance, eclipsing anything seen before, in honor of our approach
to Graduation Isle. joe Bloom gave concerts for us. Our ingenious first mate, Mr.
Pitts, showed himself an able theatrical promoter in putting forth a clever play. When the
masterful production was over we wondered why he did not make stage directing a
profession. Certain malicious fellows (frequenters of the office) said, "We wish he had."
Captain Smiley entertained us with long talks, every morning, fully enjoyed to be sure.
June 2 Graduation Isle was sighted. We are now moored in the harbor waiting
anxiously to see whom Captain Smiley is going to allow to enter this long sought haven.
On ] une 9, the landing tickets will be distributed. The voyage of the 1911 is ended,
the weary days at sea have passed. The valiant crew of the "1911" will ever be
remembered by those who sail the Sea of Knowledge, a stout ship, a brave crew, and a
remarkable voyage.

The Woo~bury Declamation Contest was e tablished in 1875 by the Hon. R . W.
W codbury as a permanent oratorical contest to be held annually at the East Side High
chool. The prize, which consi ts of a finely engraved gold medal, is awarded to the
peaker who. in the e timation of three Judges, has done the best work. The twelve speakers are chosen by their several classes at preliminary contests. The contest is held every
year in the Asserr:bly Room on the last day before Christmas vacation, and is always well
attended.
The Woodbury medal is highly prized and, especially of late years, has been vigorously and keenly conte·ted. The thirty-eighth contest was held December 23, 191 0, and
the prize was awarded to Arnold Weinberger, a junior, who e earne3t and forceful
delivery has never been equalled. The other contestants, however, deserve full and equal
mention for their splendid and able efforts.
1 he participants and their selections were as follows:
Colburn Gilman . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Blaine, the Plumed Knight.

The class of 191 I has been well and ably represented for the past four years, and
those among our number who have participated are: Colburn Gilman, Albert J. Adams,
Claude Hyman, M aurice Pate, C. Haines Lee, Earl A. Pivan.
o work out~ide of the class room deserves more encouragement, and none is of
greater value than public speaking, and the Woodbury ontest is one of the leading
factors in furthering this end.

In spite of tl:e fact that the scenery was a trifle worn, from its fifteen transcontine':ltal tours, "The Liar" proYed as much of a hit as e\er last evening. A large and fashio:lable audience gathered at the East Denver High chool to witness a presentation of this
sparklin$1; comedy and each p"'rson heartily enjoyed the evening.
"The Liar" can hardly be called a new play for it was written in I 702. Its revival,
after a neglect of many years, only adds another name to the long list of triumphs
achieved by Manager harles Frohman- Pitts. Under his experienced leadership the
all-star cast was brought to absolute perfection. Indeed all the actors were so well-fitted
for their parts that it was difficult to say to whom the honors belonged. The cast that
so ably presented the play was as follows:
Young Wilding (The Liar) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Lee Wood
Old Wilding . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Richard Lindsay
ir James Elliot. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . joseph Bloom
Papillion . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Maurice Pate
Miss Grantham . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Nellie Cheadle
Miss Godfrey . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Helen Carpenter
William, john, the servant . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Sidney Bishop
The title role was taken by Lee Wood. His vast experience in the character which
he presented and his thorough understanding of the "Liar's" part gave his acting a
technical finish that few other actors possess. The audience will not soon forget his
masterful portrayal, of the lines, "Oh! while you live, tell the truth, and shame the devil."
Richard Lindsay, who took the part of the "Liar's" father, was fine in the role of
a cross old dyspeptic parent.
During the evening, a person with a ferocious face and a shining sword stalked
frequently across ti-e stage. The audience certainly was surprised to find out that this
character who went about fighting duels and threatening ladies was none other than
the gentle ]oe Bloom.
Maurice Pate in the role of Papillion made one of the hits of the evening. His
sparkling wit, and laughable anachronisms completely captivated the audience.
The acting of Miss
ellie Cheadle in the role of Miss Godfrey certainly proved
that eyes are more forcible than words. Indeed it would be hard to imagine an actress
who, by her manner and glances conveyed the meaning of her part better than Miss
Cheadle.
Of Miss Helen Carpenter nothing but praise can be said. When the audience
saw this actress (who formerly played only the most sombre roles) in the last part of
Act II, it fairly gasped. This situation can, of course, be explained by the fact that
the play is French, but the zest with which Miss Carpenter played it has still to be
accounted for.
The servant's role was well-played by Sidney Bishop, the junior member of the
corrpany. He pre~ented a life-like picture of a prosperous, self-satisfied, well-fed, and
lazy servant.
Several other persons are worthy of mention for their pain-staking work that helped
to make the play a success. Such are: A voice off the stage, Mr. Pitts; Manager, Paul
Gibson.
The Cadets, the Glee Club and the Orchestra completed the program of the evening
and altogetl:er it was ore of the most enjoyable entertainments ever given in the building.

On October 31, the .... emor Class had their class party at the Woman's Club.
early every member of the class was present, and the evening was spent m good,
whole orne merrymaking. The first part of the evening was given over to an exceedingly
intere ling and humorous program. Miss Garver and Mr. Pitts made very good fortunetellers; and Mr. miley's talk, although he had a very bad cold, was very helpful as
well as enjoyable. The rest of the evening was spent in dancing in the beautiful ball
room, which was very artistically decorated in the colors of the class. Refreshments,
which cons1 ted of punch and pumpkin pie, were served during the dancing. The music
was furnished by members of our own class.
This affair wa in charge of Margaret Garver, Gertrude Rennie, and Jack Means,
who spent many weary hour preparing for it. But their labor was not in vain since
everyone present thoroughly enjoyed the e\ening and fully appreciated the efforts of the
committee.

�Friday evening, December I 6th, was clear and cool. And on this evening at El
Jebel Temple, some 400 youths and maidens from North, South, East, West, Manual,
as well as the Alumni, gathered, bent upon merrymaking. In this they surely succeeded.
Nothing was lacking to make the Senior Dance a success, neither in attendance, in goodfellowsh ·p. nor in brilliancy. Some twenty or th1rty bashful boys, who were too modest
to come in by the main entrance, risked life and limb in climbing up to the fire escape, so
as to attract less attention, and the committee was too generous hearted to interfere.
The great hall was ornamented with a large electrical fitxure, with E. D. H. S.
worked in red globes. Lohman, in his snappy way, rendered sixteen selections, while
Baur diligently looked after the refreshments.
The presence of Mr. and Mrs. Smiley, Mr. and Mrs. Pitts, Miss Van Gilder and
good old Mr. Kester of the faculty, as well as Mr. and Mrs. Gibson, Mr. and Mrs.
Lohman, Mrs. Durbin, and Mrs. Monahan, added very much to the pleasure of the
even mg.
To Ned Durbin, Paul Gibson, Claude Hyman, Frank Lohman, Howard Shotwell,
and Fred Sherman, the committee, congratulations are in order, as it is due to their ceaseless efforts that the event was such a success.

�Oh, we juniors of 191 I ! Well, I guess we're kind of there with bells on. Why,
you never did see such a fine lot of students, orators, athletes, in all your born days!
Even Miss Van Gilder gives us credit for being a lot of bright, shining, glowing flames,
and that sure counts.
Now, in the athletic line take, for example, Peterson, all-city half-back, captainelect for the football, and a good basketball, track, and baseball man. Can you beat
that? Why, there isn't a man in any high school that can hold a candle to him! Then
there's Mason, last year's football captain; Lovett, and Galbraith, both of them allaround athletes. In baseball we are well represented by Lifschitz and Walters, who were
stars last year. Oh, mercy! please excuse me! I nearly forgot our foremost football
star, a player of great strength and keen headwork. This notable player is George Eddy
Cook. Why, he could make the Graham School team without half trying!
But athletics aren't all the good things our class possesses. We've got some of the
best fellows you ever can meet. Peke Alexander, for two years our very successful football manager, is sure a prince. Then there are Trunk and Traylor, managers of basketball and track, both of them the kind of men that make our class pre-eminent.
That isn't all yet• We've got the best orator in the city, Arnold Weinberger, winner
of the Woodbury prize. He's by far the best orator in high school today, with the one
exception of Haines Lee.
And that isn't all yet! We've got something that beats them all. We've got the
sole agency for pretty girls. And, believe me, we sure have got all of them, too. Why,
students from all the nearby colleges swarm our halls every noon just for a glance at our
garden of pretty girls.
Now, of course, I could continue telling about the remarkable achievements of the
Juniors for many pages. I could fill a whole Annual with the story of the juniors and
their remarkable qualities, but I must let it go at this.

The thirty-second annual Wolcott reading contest for the girls of the school was
held on Friday morning, March 24th, 191 I .
This contest was established in I 8 79, by the Honorable Henry R. Wolcott, and
is the only opportunity given the girls to show their ability in reading. The prize awarded
is a bronze medal.
The character of the readings was somewhat changed this year, the selections being
from the more classic authors, instead of the short magazine stories that have been read
heretofore. The selections were all interesting, several of them being humorous, but they
were not so well adapted to the girls as usual.
Jennie Auslender, Sophia Ellsberg, Dorothy Steele, and Dagmar Stidger showed
the audience that the Class of 'II is as well, if not better, supplied with good readers as
her sister classes have been.
The winner, jennie Auslender, read from Charles Dudley Warner. She gave her
selection very naturally, and with a great deal of feeling.
The other representatives were: Sophia Ellsberg, Myrtle Young, Annie McKay
Brown, Janet White, Rebecca Frank, Clara Auslender, Frances McCarren, Kathryn
La Coste, and Gertrude Caplan.
ellie Lind and Malcolm McLean rendered pleasing selections during the intermissions; Gertrude Cisler gave a piano solo, and the trio, composed of Albert Adams, ] oseph
Bloom, and George Hancock, a trio of which the Class of 'II has reason to be proud,
played the score of the "Chocolate Soldier." It was given with such spirit and enthusiasm that it was one of the most enjoyable features of the morning's program.
As the prize last year was awarded to Helen Carpenter, our class may feel particularly proud in that two of its members are winners of the Wolcott medal.

While looking through some musty old records of the classes which have attendE.d
East Denver High School, I came across the following remarkably extraordinary account:
"Written in
ineteen Hundred Eleven at East Denver High School.
At the beginning of the school year immediately preceding this one, there came into
East Denver High School a class of Freshmen, intensely dignified in behavior and having
a wonderful and commanding presence. As the members of this class approached the
building, there was not even the slightest tremor of uncertainty. They ascended the stone
stairs with a firm step and a steady eye, and entered the building with the confident assurance which always accompanies success. Where another class would have wandered
mystified over the building, they went straight to their appointed places. In every way
they showed themselves to be an extraordinary class. With the beginning of work, teachers who had been in the building years and years were astonished by their amazing intellectual capability. This startling fact was attributed to the size of the class, which would
be likely to overcome any awkwardness that the class might naturally feel. But such an
interpretation could never explain a class like this one. It continued almost to appall its
teachers. As the year passed, it developed overwhelming power and tremendous ability.
Its attitude toward the work captivated those into whose hands its training had been
placed. Its rapid progress shows what is possible by exact fulfillment of duty. This was
strikingly exemplified at the time of the Woodbury Contest, when the medal was won by
a member of this class. Not only there, but also in the other contests, class games, and
in every phase of school life they were to be seen-not always as winners, to be sure; but
when defeated they acknowledged the victory with such unaffected grace that they left
amid the applause of the admiring audience. This wonderful record was continued
70

�throughout the entire year, and the only consolation its grief-stricken teachers had at the
end of the term was the knowledge that its members would return the next year.
The following fall when the High School was again opened, they did return. Refreshed and invigorated by the vacation, they set to work with that determination which
characterized their beginning year. They applied themselves to the tasks before them
with indomitable perseverance. As the year passed their efforts increased, until by the
end of the third division of the school year everyone realized the brilliant success which
had attended their efforts. They finished the year with the most brilliant record of any
class that had ever attended East Denver, and there is not the slightest doubt but that they
will continue this record during their entire high school career, and leave a most delightful
impression upon the minds of all their teachers."
For a moment after I had finished reading, I stood spell-bound.
ever before had I
heard such a record, such a wonderful recital of work accomplished, and honor won.
Reverently and tenderly I laid down the tattered and crumbly old parchment, knowing
that I had discovered a treasure of priceless value, which would be handed down to posterity as the wonderful achievement of past ages.

��Wqr &lt;trnss &lt;tnuntry 1!\un
Bang! The huge door of the gymnasium slammed with a deep, sonorous echo that
resounded through the long rows of lockers, like the distant roar of an explosion. Stanley
Dixon was the last to leave the "gym," and, being thoroughly disgusted with himself, he
relieved his feelings by taking his vengeance on the door. Stanley had just recovered from
an attack of pneumonia when the squad for the cross-country run was called. He soon
found that his weak physical cond1tion, due to his recent illness, would not permit him to
partake of the strenuous preliminary exercises, so he had to be content with special "gym"
work proposed by Coach Hardin.
In the second week of training, with only four weeks more until the run, he found
himself in about the same condition as when he started. He was disheartened and felt
like giving up entirely. But there were two things that urged him on: first, the fact that
he had made such a good showing in last year's race; and, second, that he knew what the
school expected of him. How proud he would feel if he did not disappoint them! Then
what would Mary think of him? All through the first few months of school he had
boasted that he would win the silver loving cup for her. But since his sickness he had
begun to think his boast an idle one, and he feared that he would not be able to carry it
out. With these thoughts everlastingly flitting through his mind, he continued to work
away with the clubs and weights, ran as steadily as he could without exhaustion and developed his endurance so that he would be equal to the test to which he was soon to be
put.
The afternoon for the trial run came. Blake College, which Dixon attended, was
to have four representatives in the intercollegiate run, the places to be awarded to the
first four runners finishing in the preliminary.
tan managed to be one of the four in
spite of his weak condition.
As he was quietly wending his way homeward, a shrill little trill fell upon his ear,
making him wheel instantly to look for its source. "Hello, Stan! You ran just beautifully." exclaimed Mary, approaching him and giving his proffered hand an impulsive
squeeze. "I knew your sickness would make a lot of difference; but, cheer up, you have
one more chance; and remember, you are going to win that little cup for me. Here, you
may wear this for good luck," she continued, slipping her tiny signet ring on his little
finger, ''but you will return it after the race, won't you?" "I certainly will, but I would
like to wear it forever," Dixon replied. "There you go with your foolish talk; but I
haven't time now to argue with you. Be sure to call for me promptly at 9 aturday
morning, as I want to get a good seat." "All right, Mary. Adios."
Stanley arose early Saturday morning and donning his track suit, took a few breathing exercises, then an easy half-mile to loosen his muscles, which seemed to work in perfect harmony.
All was hurry and flurry as the last preparations were being made. The campus
bleachers were one mass of color. Eight different colleges had their divi ions draped in
ribbons and pennants. Most conspicuous among these was Blake's, directly in front of
the finish line and commanding a view of the course for fully a mile.
oise played an important part in the morning's sport, each college striving hard to
drown out the other. The first call for the race sounded clearly over the campus. For
73

�a minute there was a lull in the confusion; then as the competitors slowly issued from
their tents, boisterous hilarity again reigned supreme.
The men lost no time in getting to their places; each crouched, eagerly awaiting the
starter's pistol. In that last nervous moment a tiny voice broke the silence by calling out,
"Remember, Stan, what you prom-" The sentence was cut short by the report of the
pi tol. The race was on.
It is useless to try to describe the commotion that immediately followed, but which
soon subsided, when the runners passed out of sight. The suspense of waiting for the
fmt runner to reappear was relieved somewhat by the friendly rivalry bet\veen the colleges
in singing and yelling. Suddenly a series of yells rent the air and all heads were immediately turned toward the course. There coming over the hill on their last mile, could
be seen three figure running together. Instantly all was chaos. The eager crowd bent
forward and all eyes were fixed on the approaching runners. Now they could distinguish
the forms. Two were Sterling men and one a Blake man, and there was about twenty
feet between the first and the last. The men seemed to walk rather than run. They did
not change their relative positions until the last quarter, and the crowd went fairly mad
wtih excitement. The Blake man proved to be Stan; and, try as he would, he could not
pass the other t\vo men. His head was swimming and everything whirling, but he could
not give up; for there were his classmates shouting and waving frantically to encourage
him; he had only a few yards more to go, so he must use his supreme effort. His strength
was fast ebbing; he was simply running like a mechanical toy. Glancing up, he imagined that he saw a frightened little face earnestly watching his every movement. He must
win! As he clinched his fists in desperation, his finger touched her ring-his luck-charm
-and, closing his eyes, he put all his remaining strength into his worn-out muscles, and
sprinted.
The next thing he was conscious of was that some one was working over him and
pouring water over his head. Was that cheering he heard? Was that his name they
yelled? Why did not some one tell him who had won?
Slowly regaining his scattered senses, with the assistance of his friends, he proceeded
to go to his locker to dress. Imagine his surprise when he saw above his locker the muchcoveted pennant. Beside it was a silver cup with a tiny card attached. The card bore
this inscription:
STANLEY DIXON
FIRST PLACE CROSS COUNTRY RUN
TIME: 28 min. 46 sec.
Had his boast been an idle one?
Together Mary and Stan left the campus, the boy content to hear the praise of one
rather than the flattery of the many, and the girl perfectly happy to be with him, knowing
that he had worked so hard for her alone.

�The 191 0 season in track and field sports was not successful from any accepted
point of \iew, However, every team which does its best, every contestant who, for the
sake of his school, gives the best that is in him, deserves and should alway receive the
hearty, if not enthusiastic, support of his classmates; for by so doing he has brought
crenlt to himself and to his school.
Laf-t year's season was characteri1ed by a dearth of material and seeming lack of
interest. Du.! to East Denver's uninterrupted upremacy in the past, there has grown up,
in recent years, a feeling of confidence that she can maintain that supremacy without any
fpecial effort or interest on the part of the rank and file of the student body; that, somehow, from some quarter, champions will come forth to lead her to the accustomed viclmy. The under-classmen, seeing most of the honors carried off by boys of the senior
class, have held themselves aloof from participating in sports until they, too, should become seniors. The results of such unwillingness to work throughout a season or two,
without any public recognition from the school, have been reaped in the defeats of the
pa~t two years. However, there is now growing up a feeling of individual responsibility
for th;s lack of material and interest.
The call for candidates for this year's track squad has been met by a hearty response
f10m all the classes. While it is too early yet to offer any forecast as to the outcome of
this eMon's track, we can say that the prospect is much brighter and better than at the
same tlme last year; and the future looks good on account of the way in which the candidntes arc taking hold. With only two of last year's monogram men in school, our greatest trouble will be to whip into shape, in so short a time, the raw material presenting itself
to uphold the honor of the school.

East's record of second place in the annual cross country run last year was a very
creditable one, and gave promise of something better another year. About twenty-five
boys tried out for the team, from which number a championship team of ten was chosen.
With two of last year's men unable to compete on account of physical accidents, and two
of the first ten this year debarred for similar reasons, the performance of our team was all
the more remarkable. While winning by a very close margin, the team was de ervedly
elated, because the victory was over an opponent who had held first place ever since the
institution of the cross-country run. William Bowes came in first in the remarkable time
of 19 minutes, 18 seconds, beating the previous record held by Hobson of orth Denver by 2 I 4-5 seconds. Paul Deeds was the second East Denver man to finish, and ran
a very plucky race in spite of a bad cold contracted two days before the run. All in all,
East has reason to be proud of her team and the loving-cup trophy won by them.

The baseball season of 191 0 was a grand success. \Ve had a team of excellent
players, and more than that, we had a team of fine fellows. "Bud" Griffin was the
captain, and his leadership and good spirit did much to keep the team together and workin g during the season. The team was well supported by the school, and the good spirit
of the student body seemed to be an inspiration for greater efforts on the part of the team.
There was one war-cry, "Beat Manual and win the city championship." The score
board of last season showed that that aim was realized. Because the city schools had
withdrawn from the State League, the team did not play for state honors, but it is safe
to say that had we clashed with the other state schools, E. D. H. S. would have been
state champions.
The race for city honors was very close. Manual had held the city championship
for two years and it was our tum. Each one recognized that we must beat Manual in
baseball. We had lost to them in football and basketball, and our pride would not tolerate a defeat in baseball. The first game with Manual was a "walk-away" for East
The boys showed "college class" in their team work and batting. We took seven games
without a defeat, but lost the second game with Manual, 4 to 3. That meant another
game to decide the championship. Manual was not anxious to play, but after the Board
of Control had given the order to play off the tie, and the principals of the schools had
sustained that decision, the game was played and Manual lost. This last game was said
to have been the most exciting and closely contested game ever played in the city betw·een
high schools. The score of 5 to 4 tells the story.
As has been said, we had a team of fine fellows . "Bud" Griffin was the "keystone" of our infield. "Big Lav" pitched effective ball, and he deserves much credit for
many of the victories. "Big Fellow" Fen wick was a wizard on the bases and fielded
well. "Lou" Greenstein was the star of the league in batting, and "broke up" many
games with his long drives. "Bill" Walters showed much ability in catching and did
much to steady Lavington in the box. "Eddy" Cowell on third was extremely fast in
fielding his positoion, as was "Bosty" on short. "Boulanger" Baker, on first, covered that
position well, and also was noted for home run drives. Leisenring was our star outfieldet
and his good playing was so effective that he was selected to captain the team of 191 I .
May good luck be with him! "Little Brom" and McDonough also assisted in the good
work. Although five of the best players in the 191 0 team graduated, it is hoped that
E. D . H. S. can build up another championship team this year, and that the "Spalding
Trophy," as a symbol of skill in baseball, will be seen in our halls for many years to

�On December I st a large bunch of hopefuls turned out for East Denver's basketball
team, and under the guidance of Captain Beales and Mr. Kester, it "sure" looked like
a winning bunch.

The fellows played hard for several weeks and soon were playing in

championship form-

as they proved by only losing one game before the league opened.

Now came the real test.

On February I I th the championship series began and East made

a good start by winning the first game from Manual, much against the latter's will.

East

kept up their good work all through the series, and although we lost the championship to
South, the close score shows that it would be hard to choose the better team.
With Captain Beales at center, Richter, Peterson, and Shotwell at guards, and White
and Bromfield at forwards, East had a team that was hard to beat.

Beales proved to be

one of the best centers ever playing on a high school team, winning honor for himself and
East Denver by making center on the All-Star High

chool T earn.

Richter played one

of the steadie t games at guard, and without him, East wouldn't have had a ghost of a
show.

Peterson speaks for himself, and when he played our other guard, the opposing

team was helpless.

Our other guard, Shotwell, was one of the fastest high school men

ever seen on a Denver floor.

In White, East had one of the fastest forvvards in the

league, and he was responsible for many of East's victories. In ewell. East had a "sub"
who at any time could fill any vacancy in the team, in such a manner that it was hard to
tell who was missing.

We must not forget our manager, "Hack" Trunk.

He kept us

busy with games all over the state, and if it hadn't been for a little misunderstanding. he
would have made any member of the team hustle for their place.

We want to thank

all the fellows who stayed out all the year and kept East Denver in the running.

One day last October we girls of East Denver were gathered in the assembly room
for a quiet little chat about athletics. Basketball was a science then unknown, but as the
Orpheum and Majestic were growing tiresome, we decided to try something new. The
next question to be discussed was "bloomers." Oh, my! How should we have them
made? The matter was easily settled with a few kmd suggestions from Miss Sabin.
The following week proved the beginning of Mr. Kester's troubles, but his radiant smile
was always present to encourage the ever-growing spirit. This spirit did grow, and the
girls improved. This brought on a terrible struggle; some played guard, some forward
and some center, while others were jacks of all trades. In fact, the chief aim of some
was to receive a monogram, while the wiser ones appreciated the sport.
Imagine Mr. Kester's anxiety when the first challenge was received, from Manual.
Out of fifty competent players, only six were to be chosen. Y e gods! What a task!
After many weary hours and restless nights, our honorable coach decided on four high
and mighty seniors, one silly sophomore, and a tiny freshman. Victoriously they returned
from the field, with a score of II to 5. Our next challenge was from the D. U. freshmen, mainly our last year's team. The day was cold and the "gym" coldler, but we
defeated our rivals on their own field, I 3 to 7. Our captain then challenged Wolfe Hall,
and now we met our first defeat.
evertheless, at the end of the game the score was 12
to 1 2; but by playing the tie-off we lost the game by three points.
Then followed our trip to Westminster, where we fought by lamp-light. This time
we won, 1 I to 6. Again we met Manual on the field, with the same result, winning this
time by 19 to I 5.
ext we piled a still larger score on Warren Academy, 26 to 5.
Hearing of the teams of the Neighborhood House, we secured two games with them.
28 to 19 was the score, in our favor, at the end of the first game. The second resulted
in our largest score, 3 3 to 9. For the third time, we met Manual, but only to our sorrow, for they defeated us 18 to II . Last of all, we met the D . U. Sophomores, once
again to win a victory, 14 to 6. This game ended our enjoyable season of basketball.
The team was made up of a jolly bunch of girls who knew how to push for themselves. Mattie Christian, our captain, certainly earned the right to the title. She proved
to be one of our best and quickest forwards. Her companion of the same position was
Addie Cronan, who possessed a wonderful aim at baskets. Gladys Retallack was our
incomparable jumping center. Her assistant, F ranees Smith of Latin School, certainly
played her part well, and could always be depended on. Two guards, who were always
on the lookout, Grayce Thode and Gertrude Mendenhall, made up the rest of the team.
As for the substitutes, there were four, Mabel Dickerson, Anna McKay Brown, Mildred
Cronan, and Ella Duncan. Not only were they full of school spirit, but they also played
well when on the field. With Mr. Kester's aid, this team surely won a record in the
Girls' Athletics of East Denver.

This year's tennis started with great enthusiasm.

All of the girls and boys were in-

teres~ed at once, ready to join in the game, whether to win or lose, for the object of tennis

is not only to run off with the championship, but also for the sport, and the excellent exercise derived from it.
The courts were in splendid condition, and enabled us to do our best.
We played mostly among ourselves, although the boys played Manual, winning from
them, and thus securing the championship for the Eastern division. We only hope that
next year the girls will beo able to play other schools with as much success.
The participants showed practice and skill in their playing and the games were hotly
co:-ttested.
If the boys and girls knew the pleasure and benefit derived from the game, we
think there would be more of them out next year, eager to enter into the sport.

This is the first year since the Minerva Literary Society was founded, that it has not
been supervised by directresses. In place of the directresses, a different teacher appointed
by Mr. Smiley, takes charge of and criticizes each meeting. There are sixty-one girls
belonging to Minena. The membership committee chooses the girls who wish to become
tB
members, only those of high scholarship being chosen.
The meetings of the society are held every other week, and are open to all girls of
the school; the special meetings are open to everybody; for instance, the Christmas and
Thanksgiving meetings were open, and, by the way, they were good ones, too.
The Christrras program was as follows:

The meetings generally consist of talks by three or four different members, two
musical selections, and the Minerva journal, of which we are very proud, for it is both
original and literary. The programs are made out a half year in advance by the Program
C(lmmittee, which also appoints the girls who take part in each meeting. The first half
of this year, we studied the lives of famous women of the twentieth century. For the
present term we are studying the rulers and statesmen of the great nations.
The Chorus is an important branch of the society, and provides an entertaining
number in our open meetings. The members are: Helen Carpenter, Mattie Christian,
!)!)

�Mabel Dickerson, Jennie Auslender, Margaret Garver, Mildred Long, Lucy Gallup,
Hattie Ensign, Dorothy teele, Varedo Dinsmore, and lara Auslender, pianist.
The officers chosen for the first half were : Hattie Ensign, president; Alta Estey,
vice-president; ophia Ell berg, secretary; Donelda Grant, treasurer. Upon the resignation of Alta Estey as vice-president, Helen Carpenter was elected in her place. Tho e
on the editorial staff were Faye Jones, editor; Hope Landin, assistant editor; Margaret
Garver, representative-at-large; Mildred Long, senior representative; Anna McKay Brown,
junior representative, and Aileen Monohan, sophomore representative.
The present officers are : Faye Jones, president; Helen
arpenter, vice-president;
Winifred Bowhay, secretary; Donelda Grant, treasurer. The officers of the editorial
ornelia Porter,
staff are: Margaret Garver, editor; Win if red Duff, assi tant editor;
representative-at-large; Ida Vought, senior representative; Hope Landin, junior representative; and Hyacinthe Scott, sophomore representative.
Our play last year was a great success. The funds from the play were used to help
refumish the teachers' room. We are now planning to give another play, which we hope
will be as great a success.
Last year many of the girls wanted to give some social function, so a luncheon was
given, which was enjoyed by everybody. This has been made an annual event, and we
are now arranging for this year's luncheon.
Although, for the success of Minerva, all the girls must do their best, each one
thinks it is worth the work, for the pleasure and instruction derived from membership m
the society.

�Congress has this year been under the leadership of the new president, Mr. Albert
Karge. Mr. Karge came to the East Denver High School from the Minneapolis East
Side High School, where he was one of the debating coaches. He previously had charge
of debate in Marshalltown, Iowa. Mr. Karge took the degree A.B. at Buchnell University, and that of A.M. at the University of Chicago. He has also pursued his studies
in Germany. His keen sense of logic and thorough knowledge of parliamentary procedure
ably fit him for the office, and guarantee the same high standard for Congress, that was
established by Mr. Risley and Mr. Granger.
The departure of the latter at the close of the first half year was regretted by every
member of ongress. Mr. Granger was an exceedingly efficient president, and without a
peer as a debating coach. His earnest enthusiasm for Congress, in addition to his understanding of boys endeared him to the hearts of all who knew him.
Congress is the only debating society of the school, and is one of the best in the
state. Both the Stevens and Woodbury Prizes were won this year by Congressmen, as
II members of the school who pass the membership committee, and secure a
usual.
four-fifths vote in the body are admitted. The society is divided into a Senate and a
House, presided over by the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House, respectively. Members of the fourth class may be admitted as territorial delegates. The
body meet in joint session with the President of Congress as presiding officer. Meetings
are held every Friday night till the close of the spring term, when the debates are held.
Rooom nine has been selected as the official Congress Room, and is being decorated with
that end in view.
Every year six members of Congress are chosen for the Triangular Debate with the
Colorado prings and Pueblo Centennial High Schools. The discmsion this year is on
the Oklahoma Bank Guaranty scheme, and will be held in the three cities on April 14th.
Mr. Potter, who has taken great interest in Congress this year, and Mr. Karge, are acting
as coaches. The affirmative will be upheld at Denver by Robert Canfield, 'I 1, Arnold
Weinberger, '12, and Earl Pivan, '11, leader. The negative team, which will go to
Colorado Springs, is composed of Claude Hyman, '11, Earl Menerey, '11, and Albert
Adams, '11, leader. In all the debates which Congress has held with Denver University,
Cutler Academy, Colorado Springs High School, and Pueblo Centennial, but two have
been lost by the East Denver boys. The teams this year are working faithfully and are
anxious to preserve this record.
102

�After the debates the body holds its annual banquet. The eighth will be held this
year on April 15th, at the Kaiserhof Hotel. Mr. Smiley. Mr. Karge, and Mr. Potter,
in addition to all senior Congressmen, will address the society. Earl A. Pivan, 'II. will
act as toastmaster. The following are the officers of Congress:

The sixteenth annual contest for the tevens prize was
held at the First Baptist Church, February 22, 191 I, before
a small but appreciative audience. In this year's contest the
East ide High School was represented by Arnold Weinberger, a junior, and the winner of the Woodbury medal in
1910, and three seniors, Earl Pavin, Claude Hyman and
Albert Adams, all of whom are members of the High School
Congress. The contestants from East Denver made a most
remarkable record, having been awarded the first three places;
and they would have had the fourth had Weinberger's voice
been in good condition.
Earl Pavin, in a masterful oration on " International
Peace," was awarded the prize, a portrait of Lincoln as a
boy. Claude Hyman, in an excellent oration on " International Disarmament," took second place; Albert Adams, third, with as we might expect,
an able oration on his favorite composer, MacDowell.
Our opponents from Manual- Palmer abin, Leslie Eichelberger, Cranston R ader,
and Neil McM illan- presented their subjects in a most creditable manner. We have
good reason to be proud of our record, since out of sixteen contests we have won twelve.
This not only reflects credit upon the school, but indicates the strong personality and
ability of our students.
The donor of this prize, the Hon. I. N. Stevens, is held in high esteem by the
students and alumni of this school. All subjects must be patriotic, and original in
compos1lton. The purpose of this contest is of the very highest and noblest character
as it lends to develop a spirit of patriotism and love of country.

&lt;trtrrum.atanttttl tEut{)rnrr."

John Andrews, a structural iron worker, had been thrown out of work for three
months by a stubborn trike of his Chicago union. He was the father of a large family,
and even while he had steady employment it was a difficult matter to make both ends meet.
But this last piece of misfortune dragged the Andrews family into the lowest depths of
poverty. To the curse of starvation was added sickness and death. The father, one of
the first to be taken down by the dread typhoid, was left an invalid too weak to work.
During his sickness all the resources of the family had been used up, and now they
were in desperate circumstances. Andrews searched in vain for means of relief ; but every
article that could possibly be spared had been sold for the little it might bring, until now
they had reached the end of the string. As a last resort he felt compelled to pawn a
revolver, which, on account of the dangerous labor strikes and riots, was almost a necessity
for his protection. So it happened that he entered the pawnshop of Jacob Newton about
8 o'clock in the evening. Soon afterwards the people in the apartment above heard loud,
angry voices below. This was nothing unusual, however, and they paid no attention to
it. About twenty minutes later, hearing a shot, they rushed down, entered the little shop,
and found Newton with a bullet through his brain. On the floor by his side lay a revolver
marked J. T. A.- clearly the instrument which had caused his death. Another curious
fact was also noticed: the bullet which killed Newton had lodged in a clock directly
behind him, and the mechanism had stopped at exactly 8:27.
The police were soon on the track of ]. T. A. and, with the aid of witnesses, succeeded in discovering the identity of their man.
When John Andrews stole in late that night his wife was anxiously waiting for him.
Glancing furtively about, he drew from his pocket twenty-five dollars, and, handing it to
her, remarked carelessly that he had borrowed it from a friend on condition that he should
pay it back as soon as he was able.
All that night Andrews tossed and trembled just as a guilty man would, and his
thoughts drove him almost mad.
The next morning Andrews was arrested and formally charged with the murder of
Jacob ewton. After two weeks' imprisonment he was brought to trial- little more than
a mock trial it seemed to him, the evidence was so strong against him. The ownership of
the weapon, his entrance to Newton's shop, the loud words, the money he had brought
home, all pointed straight to Andrews' guilt, and the prisoner had but little heart to combat
this conclusive evidence. His only incentive to live was the sad little group that huddled
in the corner of the courtroom daily to hear the verdict which meant so much to them.
When the prisoner arose to make his plea, there was not a soul in the whole courtroom who did not pity this man, who had seen so much suffering and sorrow, even
though he were a murderer. Andrews realized how strong the case was against him, but
for the sake of his family he resolved to make a desperate struggle for life. "Judge," he
said, "there's no use denying the circumstances, and although that revoher belonged to
me, I never fired the shot that caused
ewton's death. I wasn't even present at the
moment. I can't explain where I was at the time; I can't explain the money. I can
only say that I did not have a hand in this crime."
lOll

�This helped matters little for him, and, on the other hand, the fact that he could
not explain where he was at tl:e fatal moment only made the case look still more suspiCIOUs.

After the final arguments of both sides had been given, Andrews' fate was sealed
he knew, and everyone else knew, that life imprisonment was the least he could expect.
Then the judge gave his instructions to the jury. "Weigh the evidence carefully,"
he admonished, "before you com ict a man on circumstantial evidence; though, to be
sure, in this case the circumstancos are unusually strong against the prisoner. "Our city
has been terrified for the par
~vera! months by labor riots, robberies, and the most
cold-blooded crimes, resulting _ • mcipally from these infernal building strikes. We should
take tre most severe measures to put an end to these atrocities and secure justice and
peace. On the very night that Newton met his death, as I was bending over looking at
my watch under the glare of a city arc, I was struck over the head, from behind, and
robbed. I noticed, oddly enough, that it was exactly 8 :2 7- the very moment when
this crime was committed. When these outlaws become o bold that they dare to commit their crimes at such an hour and at such a busy corner as 24th and Halsted, some
"judge! I'm the man that robbed you! I can prove it! I've got the watch with
the old tintype in the back- the picture of the little girl." The whole court-room stared
dumbfounded as it beheld the prisoner on his feet excitedly shouting. "But Judge," he
went on, "I was forced to do it. I was driven mad by the hunger and suffering of my
family."
For fully half a minute no one said a word, then the defendant's lawyer jumped
up and demanded, "Does your honor acknowledge the statement of the prisoner?"
"I do," replied the judge, quite overcome. "You say the watch has a tintype in
the back- describe it." On receiving an accurate description, the judge went on, "In
all my experience I have never seen or heard of such a remarkable coincidence as this.
The prisoner is without doubt innocent of Newton's death." "Could it not have been
that Andrews, leaving the pawn-shop in a rage because Newton would not give him
a fair price, forgot his revolver? Then after he had left, Newton accidentally shot
himself while examining the weapon?"
"I think the court has clearly disposed of the murder charge," said the defendant's
lawyer after the judge had finished, "and we implore your mercy, under the conditions,
to acquit the prisoner of any charges of robbery you may hold against him."
"It has never been my policy," replied the judge, "to show any leniency toward
tl:e gUilty. But-acquitted."

�The East Denver Glee Club has come to be one
of the permanent organizations of the school.
Not
only do the boys enjoy the work of the year, but in no
other organization of the school is there any more good
fellowship and hearty co-operation than among its
members.
Never has the organization had a more enthusiastic membership or more earnest workers than this
year. The year's work began early in the fall, with Albert]. Adams
as director. A double quartet of Seniors gave some selections at the
Hallowe'en party; then the entire club sang at the Woodbury Conlest. After this, rehearsals were begun for the Senior entertainment.
On this occasion the club sang songs from "Alice in Wonderland," and bravely attacked jabberwocks, jub-jub Birds, and all
sorts of horrible monsters. The first number was "The ] abberwock," illustrated by various realistic noises from Mr. Pitts. Then
came a duet, "Father William," followed by the only pathetic number on the program, "The Walrus and the Carpenter." This
brought tears to the eyes of many in the audience, and even affected
the members of the club so deeply that for a while nothing but handkerchiefs could be seen. The closing number was entitled, "Won't
You Walk a Little Faster?" to the chorus of which the boys walked
off the st.1ge. judging from the applause, the audience was not glad
that they "walked" so soon, but could have stood it some time longer.
The year's work ended with the singing of "Auld Lang Syne" at
the Auditorium, in honor of Mr. Smiley.
It can be safely said that in no other school organization has
the work been more enjoyable than in the Glee Club. All the Senior
"llembers heartily wish that the club may continue and become better
and larger with every year. Faye ] ones has kindly played
the accompaniments this year, and
her help has been greatly appreciated.

�The Girls' Chorus Club has once more come to light, and it promises to be a good
one. It has been Mr. Whiteman's custom, for the last seven years, to work with the girls
of the East Dmver High School during the third and fourth quarters. They usually sing
at the Wolcott Reading Contest, as well as at graduation; but this year, for some unknown reason they did not organize until April 6. It is the only organization of its
kind in the school, and offers many advantages to girls possessing any talent in that line.
The girls this year have exceptionally good voices, the sopranos especially.
On April 12 the following officers were elected:

President- Winifred Bowhay.
Vice-President Dorothy Steele.

This is the first year that we have had one general Athletic Association for both
boys and girls. Seven hundred eason tickets were sold, and these entitled the purchaser
to membership in the Association. In buying these tickets, one became not only a member,
but was eligible to play tennis, basketball, or any other sports.
At the beginning of the school year a meeting of all the girls was called to elect
the directors of the girls' branch of the Association.
A board was chosen, consisting of hvo representatives from each class. The following were elected:
Seniors- Grayce Thode and Winifred Bowhay.
Juniors--Hope Landin and Mabel Sully.
Sophomores--Shirley Willard and Alice Arundel.
F reshmen- Addie Cronan and ina Henderson.
Winifred Bowhay was elected president of the board;
ina Henderson, vice-president; Addie Cronan, secretary. Mr. Smiley appointed Miss Sabin treasurer, and Miss
Cohen, Miss Sabin, and Miss Kennan, directors.
The Class of 191 1 extends its heartiest wishes to the Association.

CADETS
~

The Denver High chool Cadets were organized for the purpose of glVlng to
High School students physical and military training. At the time of organization there
were about fourteen members. At present there is a regiment of two batallions and a
company of Signal orps. Three of the infantry companies are at East Denver.
Colonel James E. H uchingson, an experienced tactician, who has seen service in
the Philippines with the United tates Army, is the commandant, and has general supervision of the organization. Besides the commandant there are the cadet officers, commissioned by the Board of Education, who have direct command of the companies.
The social events of the year are the reception given us by the Young Men's Christian Association, the annual banquet, and the cadet entertainment and ball. This year
the reception recalled some pleasant memories of last summer's camp. At the banquet,
Colonel Pivan presided as toastmaster. Among the guests of honor were General Chase,
General Hale, Colonel Kelley, and other prominent military men. The entertainment was
a great success, and considering that it is our first attempt, we are very proud of it.
An exhibition drill, a one-act comedy, and dancing were the features of the evening.
Other annual events are the field meet, competitive drills, the usual parades and
practice marches, rifle shooting, and the encampment. Company A, of East Denver,
has won the prize for the best drilled squad for the last two years, and the East Denver
companies show excellent material and have good prospects for this year. We have
been assisted in our rifle shooting by a sub-target gun, a gift of the Board of Education;
a large number have already qualified as indoor marksmen.
At the encampment everyone has a chance to show what he has learned during the
year. Upon arriving in camp, guards are posted, and from that time the camp is not
left unguarded until the last tent has been struck.
Besides acquiring this practical
military experience, we enjoy ourselves immensely; those not on duty have nearly all
the day to themselves, and it is usually spent in mountain-climbing or in athletic sports.
Although accidents and cases of sickness are comparatively few, we have a corps of
medical officers who are always on hand when they are needed.
The officers at East Denver this year are:
Colonel Earl A. Pivan.
Company A: Captain Romeo Lindenbaum, First Lieutenant Robert H. Canfield,
Second Lieutenant John B. M. Young.
Company F: Captain Edward F. Ohlbach, First Lieutenant Charles G. Dimler,
Second Lieutenant ]. Howard Crary.
Company G: Captain Glenn W. Gillett, First Lieutenant C. Minor Weller,
Second Lieutenant Ernest E. Bechtelheimer.

�Wqr lliatin ~rqnnl Q)ar~rn
There once was a garden, a bright, beautiful garden, with orderly rows of thriving
plants, and long vistas of well-kept walks.

Now, I had made up my mind to visit this

garden, for its fame was widely spread.

So one day I called upon Head Gardener

Remington, a pleasant gentleman, who at once put me at my ease.
"Certainly," said he to my query; "I am always proud to show my garden to
strangers."
So he guided me across a fresh, green lawn, at the end of which I at last beheld
the far-famed garden.

It was laid out in seven long rows, each of which had a special

attendant.
"Perhaps you wonder," said the head gardener, "'at the seemingly unnecessary precaution which I have taken, in giving each row a special guardian.

But, you see, these

plants, although trivial in appearance, need every bit of the wise and individual care"(looking with pride at his gardeners) - "which they have."
He then introduced me to the keeper of each row, and I soon saw that half of Gardener Remington's success lay within the hands of his capable assistants.
After I had carefully examined each row, we went to a place which commanded a
view of the whole garden.
"Yes," began the head gardener, motioning first to a row of flourishing green cabbages on his right, and then to one of tough squashes on his left, "those plants have
been a source of great anxiety to me.

Now they are quite healthy, but when I first

got them they were susceptible to every freeze and nip of early winter.

Once we had

a terrible frost; the icy wind of Northeastern Algebra blew over the mountains and quite
blighted the poor things.

Some are still drooping from the result.

Again, earlier in the

�season, we had many fatal cases from a dry wave that swept over from Southern English.

It was quite disastrous to many who could not stand the choking dryness which was

thrust upon them.
"Yet they are now among the healthiest plants that I have ever had, and are growing larger and brighter each day.

I am very proud of them, indeed; and soon I shall

transplant them to another garden, a larger one, which is tended by Gardener Smiley."
"They are beautiful plants," answered I ; "but, pray, who keeps their beds and
walks so orderly?"
"Ah, that is Gardener Anderson.

If it were not for him, how untidy my seven

rows would be."
And the conversation went on until I noticed that it was growing dark and that I
must go home.

So I bade farewell to Gardener Remington, gave a last look at the nod-

ding plants, and reluctantly left the garden.

I tossed my book aside, rubbed my weary eyes, and removed the wet towel from
my aching head. "Ne\er again," I mournfully reflected, "will I neglect my English,
so that I am forced to stay up and grind half tre night for the test."
or was this
the first time the thought had occurred to me.
orne such idea had crossed my mind
before every English test for ti-e last fot.:r years. But tre subject is distasteful to me,
owing no doubt, to my inability to get in touch with the personality of the author, and
as this is highly essential for my proper appreciation of his work, it is no small wonder
that I neglected English in favor of mathematics and science.
It was well into the morning and I hadn't started to get my astronomy yet; so I
slipped into a light sweater, turned off my droplight, and stepped outside to study the
bright stars in the firmament abo\e. I strolled around and finally my footsteps led
me into tre park, where I sat down on a little wire bench under a large, wide-spreading tree. It was a beautiful night in early May. I sat there in a daze, inhaling the "frolic
wind that breathes the spring," and contemplating the beauties of old Mother Nature,
when, all of a sudden, I was scared half to death by a cracking of the branches and a
bending of the tree; and "quick as the sparkle of a glancing star," something shot down
and lay not two yards from my feet. It was white, and I thought, from the way it cut
through the tree, that it must be a meteor; so I just stepped over to take a peep. Imagine my surprise when I beheld, sitting there, a man, clothed in "sky robes spun out of
Iris woof." rubbing his ankle and smiling up at me as if he were an old friend of mine.
inally it spoke.
"Hello, there, II Penseroso, won't you help a poor fellow up?" I seated him
on the bench and got up enough nerve to fire back:
"What's your name? Comus, I suppose."
"0, just call me Ferguson, if you like."
"And where do you live?"
"Before the starry threshold of Jove's Court my mansion is, where those immortal
shapes of bright aerial spirits live inspher' d in regions mild of calm and serene air."
"Well, then, what are you doing here?"
"0, gentle friend, 'tis sad to relate how hard Diana on me sate, where in our
journey with the moon, I with the maiden tried to spoon; she seized me roughly by
the chin, and spilled me out, now I'm all in. But this will not deter my flight, for
back I go this selfsame night, and as you are a handsome youth, I'll take you with me,
eye and tooth. Now hop upon my back just so, and hold on tight, Zounds! let 'er go."
And before I had time to cut and run for home, the rascal had me on his neck and we
were shooting above the "smoke and stir of that dim spot which men call earth," at
a pace that would make Halley's comet appear to be tied to a post.
"Now, Ferguson, old top," I said, softly patting him on the forehead, "you can't
fool rr.e. You must be some big thing, some god, or deputy god, or something of that
sort. Come, now, what's the good word?"
"0, kind and valiant youth," cried he, "you wish to know what I may be. The
boon you ask, I'll grant it fain; they call me god of Aeroplane." And Ferguson certainly did know his business, for presently there hove in sight two gates of marsine gold,
which St. Peter opened at Ferguson's bidding; and when I had dismounted, we sauntered in to see what we could see. Although it was dark on earth, it was light up there;
and it looked just like the garden of Eden, with its beautiful trees, and walks, and
flowers.
"This is Heaven I suppose, Ferguson? Pretty well acquainted up here, aren't
you?''
'I know each lane and every alley. green, dingle, or bushy dell of this great place,
and every bosky bourne from side to side, my daily walks, and also weekly cha e."
"Why, that's just dandy. Ferguson; then you can be my guide; but who is this
man coming towards us, who trips it lightly as he goes, on his light fantastic toes?"

r

1:21

�"john Milton JS the sage bard's name, and a jolly good fellow is he; he used to
be so quiet and tame, but now he's wild and carefree."
"Ferguson," I reproachfully exclaimed, "surely, this can't be Heaven."
But
he said it was. Presently the poet recognized us, and stepped up and shook my hand.
"Greetings, Narcissus, my boy, and salutations! How are you getting along m
English?"
"Sadly, John, sadly," I was forced to admit, reluctantly, "I just flunked one of
your Comus tests, all because you would persist in writing this hazy poetry where more
is meant than meets the ear. Aren't you thoroughly ashamed of yourself?"
"Truly I am, Narcissus, I am; and just to show you that I mean it," he said,
as he carefully adjusted a wreath of laurel and ivy to my head, "take this, and henceforth far surpass your fellows in the gentle art of poetry." With this he turned to
leave, and as a roguish little smile played about his lips, coyly remarked, "But Narcissus, be careful not to eat the berries." I told Ferguson I thought it was pretty decent
of him to give me the laurel. In this happy frame of mind, we continued our walk until
we caught up with a fleshy little man with a heavy Quaker-like figure, scratch wig,
round spectacles, and a cumbrous roll of paper loading his pocket. Ferguson introduced
him as Mr. Burke.
"I don't suppose you heard the news, Mr. Burke, isolated away up here as you are?"
"No," he eagerly cried, "but tell me of the colonies; tell me that they are at last
conciliated to t~e mother country, and that a king of England reigns supreme!"
" orry to be the bearer of such ill news, but the United States of America lives
and prospers."
"0, I am sorely touched and grieved to hear of it. I thought I told them in my
three-tour speech, that you couldn't do anything by coercion and restraint." I told
Mr. Burke that I was very well acquainted with the speech he mentioned, and as he
turned to go te cautioned me to give his regards to George.
"George who?" I asked.
"George V."
"0, yes, I will. Glad to have met you Mr. Burke, good evening."
Notwithstanding my skepticism, Ferguson still persisted that we were m Heaven,
and I decided to take him at his word. So we continued our journey and presently
rounding a sharp corner, I fell into the arms of what I knew to be-l just couldn't be
wrong-Or. johnson.
"Hello, there, Imlach," he exclaimed, "who left the gate open and let you in?"
"Don't get sarcastic, Sam, my middle name is Chesterfield. How are you feeling?"
"Hungry, Imlach, always hungry!" he said, with a little sigh. "But you are a
good, faithful student, I know you are; so I am going to take you to lunch with me.
I know where the nicest, cosiest little subterranean ordinary is, and they run some dog
kennels in connection with it, too. Come on," he said patronizingly, "what say you to
a little meat pie or a small rabbit?" It's a good thing he didn't hear what I said.
I had a perfectly good sweater on, which I didn't care to have washed in soup; so I
broke away, and yelling to Ferguson to run for his life, soon left the lexicographer far
behind-you see, re had to count every post on the street-and we were just in time
to find Apollo hitching up his little sun chariot for his early morning drive across the
teavens. After telling that heart-breaker our troubles, he laughingly agreed to take us
out of danger; so we thankfully hopped in. The steeds were snorting and pawing;
and when Venus, after throwing rr.e a little kiss, flung open the gates, we darted off
into the darkness. Presently we came to the park; and Ferguson tenderly bade me
good-bye, at the same time tying a small cord around my waist, and letting me down.
But-in the middle of my descent, the cord broke; and I awoke with a start to find
that I had been asleep on the park bench, and that the sun was just rising. Be that
as it may, however, in that short time, I did get in touch with the personality of the
author, and surprised every one by drawing an honor in English.

Dear Father: Greetings to you Dad! Your son has proved a hero:
He helped win the football game for East, while Manual got a zero.
The way it happened- 0, what's the use? The thing I wish to tell
Is that your son's the total cheese around this wisdom-well.
The teachers think I'm just a dear, and they all love me so-In fact, I think 'twould break their hearts if I elsewhere did go.
The girls go wild when I'm around, and beam so tenderly;
I'm sure they'd walk for many miles to have one look at me.
Say, Pa, I'd like to run this school just for a month or two,
And be the boss of this large place. Gee! the things that I would do.
I'd be the king of East Side High; my head would bear a crown;
I'd make all commons break their necks, a-bowing to the ground.
Don't think that I'm conceited, Dad, and that I like to blow ;
Because they say I'm just like you, my father, don't you know.
If that's the case you must be great; of you I'm awfully proud.
I'd like to have you with me now, as I step through this crowd.
How are the folks, and everything, and the neighbors all around?
They'll gaze with awe and wonder when I get back to town.
I get so lonesome for the berg, I sometimes think I'll die.
Please send a fifty spot, dear Dad. Your loving Jim. Good-bye.

Coming down from Bangor on an eastern train,
From a six weeks' shooting in the woods of Maine,
Whiskers quite extensive, gay mustache as well,
Comes a college student, tall, and fine, and 5'-Vell.
Empty seat behind him, no one by his side,
Toward that village station that eastern trai 1 did glide.
Enter aged couple; they take the hindmost seat;
Enters village maiden beautiful and sweet;
Sees the aged couple properly amazed.
Happy college student sees her ticket through ,
Thinks h=m of the tunnel and knows what he will do.
Then they sit and chatter while the cinders fly,
Till the college student gets one in his eye.
Then the maiden blushing, quickly turns about;
"May I, if you please, sir, help to take it out?"
Happy college student feels her gentle touch,
Hears her softly whisper, "Does it hurt you much?"
Crash! Bang! Bang! the train goes in the tunnel quiet,
Then the glorious darkness black as Egypt's night,
Plink, Plink, Plink. Plink, Plink, Plink, urn-m-um, Plink, um-u-mn .
Out into the daylight swept that eastern train,
Student's hair is ruffled just the slightest grain;
Aged couple shudder, for then and there appeared,
A tiny diamond ear-ring in the college student's beard.
Then the maiden, angered, takes another seat;
Leaves the college student crushed almost complete.
This, then, is my moral- to tell it I will try:
Never pick a cinder from a college student's eye.

The publication of a work as large and detailed as the Annual is made possible
only by the hearty co-operation of the whole school. This year the students and teachers
have been unusually loyal and generous in their support.
Almost all the teachers have served as able critics, or have in some way assisted in
compiling the Annual. Among those whom we wish to especially thank are: Miss
Kennan, Mr. Newland, Miss Park, and Miss Woodson. Through the unceasing effort
of Miss Kennan and Mr. Newland the Annual has been made the success that it is.
Among the students who have rendered valuable services and who are worthy of
special mention are: Pansy Strangeman, Sidney Bishop, Dorothy Ogden, John
McMichael, Jack Means, Earl Lighthall, Philip Alexander, Stanley Sherwood, Leslie
Warren, Lucy Gallup, Edna Lewin, Gertrude Cisler, Ermine Bennett, Edna Nevin,
Cyprienna Turcotte, Susye Frankel, and especially Ralph Kerwin.
We are indebted to Mr. Harry Rhoads of the Denver Republican for the excellent
class pictures.
We wish to most earnestly thank our advertisers and donators whose liberal support
has made possible the publication of this Annual.

New Departures at The University of
Denver ~ ~ ~ .f/dopted 4th of c:May, 1911
Any student who has earned fifteen standard High School
units is received as a full Freshman
The requirements for graduation with the A. B. degree are radically changed.
All the courses of study are arranged in six groups, namely, CLASSICS, HISTORY AND SOCIOLOGY, LETTERS, MATHEMATICS, PHILOSOPHY, SCIENCE. The A.B. degree is given for work in each of these groups.
The Classics (Latin or Greek) are required for the A. B. degree in two of these
groups, namely, CLASSICS and LETTERS; but no Classics at all are required
for the A.B. degree in the other four groups, namely, HISTORY AND SOCIOLOGY, MATHEMATICS, PHILOSOPHY and SCIENCE.
tudents are
permitted to elect the groups in which they take a major and two minors, covering
half the college course. The other half of the course is also elective, with the limitation that all students, before graduation, are to take a moderate amount of work
in certain fundamental studies which most students of serious purpose will have
included in their list of electives. Full particulars are stated in the Catalog.

For Catalog write CHANCELLOR BUCHTEL. Universit:y Pari{, Colo.

�MR. WILLIAM H. SMILEY, Principal.

�:!lr. ~milry
Once upon a time in the beautiful Land o£ Tomorrow there lived a
good and wise man who e greatest pleasure wa in mini. tering to the ne ds
of the boys and girl with whom he was happily a :sociated.
And a the year pa. ~ed by these boys and girls grew to manhood and
womanhood, the joy of their parent and prid of their preceptor, who e
character was moulded and welded into their very own. And in the fullnes
of their love and devotion they began to ask each other what they might do
to .,;how their appreciation of him who had contributed so largely to their
ucc ss and happine .
And out of their combined wLdom came th "e ugge tion : Let us re·
lieve him for a time of hi dutie ; and then let u · end him on a long journey
to that enchanted land beyond the ea, to the land of legend and of song,
the Trea ure Land of Long Ago.
~\nd when all the plan had been made, and the evening of his departure
had come, he t nrned to the we tern . ky for a la t long look at the purpling
mountain height , and saw emblazoned there in glorious unset ray the
my~tic word "opportunity;., and he . aid: ' urely there can be nothing more
beantiful or more in pi ring in that . toried Land of Long Ago.''
nd it came to pa..' that in that Land of Long ~\."o he vi ited magnific nt cities and great tore-hou es of learning and antiquity, and gazed
upon masterpieces of art and ivy-co\·ered palace!'. and aw everywhere monument · to man' geniu and indu. try.
~\.nd it

wa all o beautiful in it perfection that he wa-.; almo t ready
to e.·claim that here at last he had found man' trea nre hon e, the veritable
pot of gold at the foot of the rainbow.
But a the day and weeks pas ed and he wa able to look beyond the
glamour of the old, he aw that in that Land of Long Ago man' eyes were
fixed on the horizon of his father~ , and were . eldom lifted to the mountain
top , where alone i fullne of life and real joy of living.
.And a the end of the vi it drew near. he wrote to orne of hi friend~
in about thi pirit: Ble ed, indeed, i the Land of Tomorrow. for there
i hope and ambition and opportunity, and all that comes of freedom to do
that which th heart prompt and which each man' geniu direct . I rejoice
that I have had the privilege of eeing the trea. ures in thi Land of Long
Ago; but I am "lad, too that our face · are now turned homeward, for
my heart and all my earthly hope· are in our happy Land of Tomorrow.
And this morning he is with us, and we rejoice with him in his homecoming, and welcome hi return to the land and school he love o well.

�1\ 1ilhtr iutn t11r mark!
Brr! I shut the door hchin&lt;l me and pulled on my heavy crlove~. The
mPrcm·y wa hovering a I itt le below zero: and the shrill wind wa weepin~
tlw . now around the corner in an icy bin t. I picked np my snit en. c ana
. tarted down the step . Bnt top! Something had hold of my ov('l·coat. I
lookc&lt;l around but &lt;'onld . e• nothin~. I gave another pull. then looked more
clo~ely-my overcoat was caught in the door.
I lauO'hed. but my }aught r oon froze into horror a I realized my pre&lt;licament. The door wa equipped with a nightlat ch :m(l could not he op ned
from the outside.
How was I to get it op n? I had no key. a I had not e.·pecte&lt;l I .·hould
need one. 1oth&lt;'r and father had O'(&gt;ne to a card party and would not be
home until midnight.
I had just one hour to catch my train. W'hat was I to do? For the
fir.t few minute ~ I t\tO'ged frantically at the coat, but to no avail. I soon,
however, calmed down and triecl to think. I might go :nvay and lea\oe my
overcoat. but the pro pcct was. to :-;ay the lea~t. not a cheering one, on a niO'ht
like that. There was only one other thing to do: ye . that wa it: I must
break into the house. Once inside I &lt;'OU1(1 open the door an&lt;l o get out of
my pr dicament.
I quickly extricat&lt;'d myself from the coat and startt•d around the how:ie,
looking for the be t place to make m~· ntt mpt. I remembered havin~ een
in orne magazine- The "'Yoman' Home ,Journal. I b(•]icve- thnt a window
lock could be opened with a pocketknife. I chose th dining room window.
skillfully perched myself on the . ill, applied my knif(' to the crack, and
pu. hed. There wa no r suit.
I must put more force into my effort . • o I braced my kn&lt;'e again t
the frame and pu. hed with all my mi~ht. Snddt'nly there "a · a ~harp quick
snap and the next thing I lm&lt;'w I was wallowing helple. ::;]y in a two-foot
snowdrift. 1 he brok(•n , tump of a lmif&lt;' in my han(l fully explained the
en t ast rophe.
IImvever. I "~a not to b di. couraged b~· a little thing like that. I re~olved to trv aCYain. but in a different wav. ...\fter , erious d liberation I next
attempted to . cale the back por h. as I I'&lt;'memhercd having left an up. tair
window unlocked. I . tartNl manfully en&lt;nlO'h, holding onto a wire rnnninO'
up the . ide of the porch. At first I made urprising headway. and wa ju t
about to O'ra p the overhan~ing clrain pipe. when there wa anoth r of those
dir •fnl "nap , following which I was precipitated into nnoth r nowdrift
de p r than the fir t.
But even here my indomitable courage and inexhaustible resolution triumphed, and as . oon as I could g&lt;'t enough &lt;-.now out of my month I swore
that I would g('t into that hous&lt;' if I had to break en•ry window in it. Indeed, I wa. hunting for a missil&lt;'. calculated to demolish the kitchen door,
when mv eve lit on the coal chnt .
·
hi Ilere at la t wa. a wa. out of my enigma! The coal chute would
have 'ery obvion. and material advantag ov r either the window or the
porch, ince. a I would be climbing down in. tead of up. there would be
little danger of a further d luge in the ic~' . now.
I quickly pried off the window. which wa. luckily only nailed on, and
made ready to de! cend. But here I indisputably JH'OY d and demm~. ti·ated
to my entire satisfaction the olid and o eou condition of my cranium.
1Vh ther I was temporarily crazy with cold, or whether my subconscious
mind wa. havinO' a joke at my e. pense, I do not know, but I do know that
in tend of . tarting into that hole feet fir -t. as any sane man would have done,
I went in head fir t.
69

�I . oon realized that th carpenter who had built that chute had been
mi. erably tingy with hi lumber. Thi · fact, coupled with my recent Epicurean indulgence ·, prov d too much for me. I topped.. For five minutes
I pulled, kicked and wiggled but to no avail. Then I tried to back out again,
but found that in my recent !'&gt;trnggle. I had tuck £a t.
I w·a in a beautiful position. Iy head \Ya. dangling about two feet
£rom a r d hot furnace, while my fe t were .·lowly freezinrr in the cold snow
out ·ide. I fell to meditating whether I . honld p rish from cold, heat or dizzine - .
Ai thi juncture the thought truck me that perhap if I . houted omeone would hear me and come to my a ·i. tance. In con equence, I opened my
jaw , which were now thoroughly thawed out, and emitted uch a · rie of
yell. a I had not given . ince I wa. cheer leader for th football team. Althourrh no relief came from the expected quarter . till thcs !'&gt;atmds proved
to be my . ah'ation, for whether my waist line, rrlieved of . nch a . tnpendnous
weight, . udd nly contracted, or whether tlH' vibration. of my voice were ufficient to jar me loo. e from my po ition, I commenced to .lide. ~Iy progre
wa low at fir::-t, but my 'elocit ' was quickly accelerated by vigorou pulls
and wriggles, and I oon landed in a heap on the ba ement floor- a much
dirtier, wetter, hotter colder and. .·adder man than I had b en three-quarter
of an hour before.
I would gladly have lain there all night. hut it mu. t not he. I had
worked too hard to have my labor go for naught.
o I dragg d my w·eary
limbs up the . tair. , re. cued mr coat and . tartcd off on the run. After
endurino· a . cmingly endlcs. ride on the street car and after a final sprint
and leap which I am ure I never equalled nn in my collerre days, I catwht
the train.
An hour later, a I at mu ing over the incid&lt;.&gt;nt. a :feeling of peace and
contentment tole over me, and I experi nc&lt;.&gt;d the . ecrct joy of knowing that
I had met and oYercome dire obstruction. "·ith dauntle 'alor and undying

to develop a tronO' line; the lin material wa omewhat light and wholly inexperi need. The early cason practice O'ame howed rather forcibly that
her wa Ea. f weak pot. At the nds of the line, howev r, were two men
who were not excelled and seldom quailed by men on any of the team met
durin()' the a. on. Ea t back fi ld wa good. In open-field runnin&lt;Y, in
quickne.s · of .tart and in &lt;YettinO' under way and in O'etting and keeping in a
good phy:ical condition which made him capable of an amount of work
that would have completely done up the average High chool man, Peteron tandl-'l out prominently. In line plunging and in 0' •neral football knowledg . uch a. i nece .. ary for playing a O'OOd, heady game all the time H edgcock wa. "on th&lt;' job" every minute of play. . . \.t quarter, .Johnny and A lly
played mighty good football, though both were _new men.
t full, Givens
and Mill r . howed good form, but early . ea. on accidents prevented th ir howing th b t that wa. in them. Of the line men, chreiber at center, Trunk,
at guard Heitzman and Baird at the regular tackles, built up b fore the
ea on wa. end d a tronO' bulwark on defen e and a hard charging machine on offen e.

1-Ve t-Eat, 0-0.

In tlw amount of football lmowledg acquired, in th degree of development of individual men, and of the team a a whole, in diver.-ity of plays
and their xecntion- though handicapped by a lack of confidence and, at
time , a fe ling of lo tn , an inability to pull together as a unit- Ea t had
a team de.- rving a b tter record than was made.

n Thank::-;CYiYilw morning. alnw t all the s tudent ~Ir.• miley, and a
goodly portion of the faculty. showed up at Broadway Park to witne~· · the
annual battl between Eat Deiwer and .M anual, which ended as usual, in a
mussa('re of the ~Ianualites at the han&lt;l · of our elcnn.
Fir. t P •riod.
Manual kicked oif just after the explo. ion of a nearly arranged AnCYel,
which wa to fir the heart of the Manualit s, and "Pete'' return •d 30 yards.
Then ''Dave'' and " . . \llie'' went through for 5 yard: apiece, and on the third
dcnvn "1fyr'' punt d. Manual did not rPtain the ball long for they were
clumsy and fumbled. '•Pete" gained 5 yard. on a Ion~ end run, and again
East Denver made their down:. •'P &gt;te" and ")lyr" then assi ·ted the ball
yard.· apiece, and \\ ith a quarterback run for ·10 yard:, the ball lund d
on ~lanual' · 10-vard line. But her omeone held, and it co t Ea t Dennr
20 yard.. "Pete'' then pulled off a spectacular run and placed the ball in a
good po. ition for a drop-ki ·k, which, when tried, fell short. "liPitz'' recov red
th ball on ~1anual · 2-yard line, and we were again penalized. with the los·
of the ball, when so near a touchdown.
Thi. was :M anual's first chance to gain, hut they soon lost the hall, which
Ea t rt•covered a f w minute · before the quartl•r elHh•d; con•, 0-0, with East
at the loner end.
• econd Period.
Th game \nl · re umed with the hall in Ea t'. po.. es~ion in the center
of th field. The first part of the quarter \Ya a puntinO' exhibition bet ween
the . hool. the honor.· ~oin~ to Ea. t. W"e incurred several penalti while
fanual received th ir only one during th game. 'Vith •·Pete' doing mo t
of the heavy work around the ends. the ball wa \\Orked up to ~!annal'· 35yard line. Here "Pete' made a perfect drop-kick, and time wa. called
immediately after. The srore wa. now 3 0, but it did not CYive ju. tic to
th work of East Denver's men.
Third Period.
Manual kicked off and D ed · n•tnrneu 1.3 yard.-. After an on ide kick
and recO\·ery. a pa ·from '·Pete" to •·)Iyr" fail {1, and another kick" a. nee ary. Since Ea t received another penalty, the ~!annal team had the ball on
their own 10-yard line, and were forced to kick. Ea t. by a ·erie · of good
play:, including a forward pas: to .:Hack,' put the ball where ··Pete' tried
another drop. .M anual then kicked and East carri d the hall to their 20-yard
line. :M anual received the hall on a fumble, but oon ,,.a forced to relinqui. h
it. The quarter t'IH1ed with the ball in East's pos. ession.
Fourth Period.
Th la. t 4narter be~an with promise of a fa. ter ~arne, for 'Pete'' carried the ball 7 vards omvard from . . !annal's 13-vard line. The next down
"Pete" . cored
touchclO\\ n to the delight of Ea. t Denver, who. rooter
evinced overwhelming joy. ·• rhreib'' kicked a pretty goal. which made the
core 9-D. Thr remainder of the quarter was pent in a de perat attempt
on the part of ~Ianual to keep East Denver from scorinO' again.
Thi victory added to our . tring is the fourth uccessive . calp from
Manual. "Billie'' ' Yill iams and aptain McKenzie \vere the tar for Manual.
For Ea. t Denver, IIedgcork and Trunk wrre exceptionally good, and it wa
the general opinion that Peterson playN1 the best individual game for a
High . rhool player that hn · hrrn . rrn for a O'ood many year . The . core,
9- 0, hardlv . how. the correct relation between the two team. for )fanual
wa definitely outplayed in almo.t every department of the game.

One of the mO-'t 'nthnsia tic and prais worthy in titution in Ea t Denver High "chool i the "Congre~· ·." Thi. is an organization that has as it
prime function the making of wide-awake &lt;'itizen., by the study of national
problem . ...\ may well b imagined from the name, "The oncrre. " is an
embryo national a. sembly. Thi i true in a variet~T of ways. Jtg terminology
it organization, it::; official:-., its duties are modeled after ongre. at 'Vashin&lt;rton. It. conduct of bnsines i. directly copied after the bu me s procedure
at 'Yn. hincrton. F'or instance. if a "anrlc.'rer happen. into the Congre sional
Hall Room tl- some Friday cn'nin~. h' may hear. in all probability, some
di&lt;rnifi d congr ssman d fendin&lt;r his honor and dignity in . ome . uch fashion
as this: " Ir. President, I rise to a point of per onal privilege. The senator
not only mi quote me, but he ronfus . and distort the whole tenor of my
ob ervation ." Or. at ~ om' Ie ~ auspicious moment, the auditor may hear
orne uch pertinent remark as this: ":Mr. Pr . ident, in Yiew of the fact that
we have thoroughlv di. en. sNl the problem of the.' duty of our country toward
the unplea, ant tnt&lt;&gt; of affairs that now preails in 1exico. I move that this
body adjourn and make an official ''isit in toto to the I i .'' To which motion,
the Pre.·ident probably re. ponds: "Ina much a , th chair hear · no objection,
.,ongres.· tand adjourned. and "ill no\\ proc •d to pay it· re pect to the
manag r of th Isis.'' This may ffi' omc idea of the tone. th t mper and
the indulgence of 'The ongre. s.
But ongre. ~ i many- ided. It has its eriou mood . it ha its foolish
moods. it ha. it di&lt;rnificcl moods. Its work is not all eriou., neither i. it
work all play. It . eem to be a happy eombination of the two that keep. it
going, and thL may in ·ome degree account for it ucce . But back of all
it acth itie , there eem to be the . pir·it and de ire of each individual congre · man to ·make pro&lt;rre. . . In many ca es, a chairman, it has b en my opportunity to welcome a new c011grcs ·man, who, when he trie hi initiatory
peech, has hardly had the power and the tamina to addre the chair and
mumble a few ill-framed entence. . Yet at the end of theses ion, that same
congr man may be o alert in the verbal exploitation of his view that it
i almo
t an impo.. ibility, in a parliamentary en e, to keep him in his eat.
1
ongre . a. ha been said, i many- ided. I i a . ocial organization: it
i. a parliamentary group: it i a debating a. ·sembly. In all thel e pha e. . it
i a leader in the Ea t Denver High chool. The practical re ults of it
work may be ea ily recognized in reviewinO' the list of winner· m the Woodbury cont~ t, in the teven onte t, and in the Tri-Angular Debating League.
Almo t invariably, the victor i a member of Congr s. Its record in this
typ of activity i unique and i · a direct te timony of its efficiency. This is
all the more remarkable ince ongre. practically run it elf. It det~rmines
it own member hip, it own rule , its own activitie . Congress has thrived
wonderfully ince its organization in 1904. It seem to fill a need in our
. chool life for . cholar who like politics, debating and argumentation. ...J ow
1t has even reached such a degree of maturity that it has its own tradition .
}Vitne : the yearly banquet, with its toasts and it "God- peed" to all departmg emor congressmen.
The Eighth ession of Congre . (1911 -1!)12) ha ·been a ucces .
e\eral
new trophies have been hun&lt;r upon th wall. of ongr s. ·. In many way , its
regular meetings and debates have b en th mo t . pirited and lively and
clo. ely-fought contests &lt;:&lt;ince its origin. Thi may be explained by : aying
that ongre. pride it elf upon having the mo t talented boy of the chool
on its memb rsl~ip roll. During the pat year there have been forty or more
me1!lb r~. In new of the fact that eighteen or twenty member~ ar held over
until next year. another ucces ful year i a.·. nred. ~Iav Congress ever pro per and maintain its high standard!

And deaden u. with music ( ~),
'Vith bursts of lusty song.

To ·well the dulcet ehorus
Like birdie.· up on high.

That's lengthy '' ..\ng&lt;'l'' Lee.
'\Vhile Bloom h hit. the bottom
And " fax," h get there too,
And . ings with raging vigor.
Until his gills ar blue.
On very great ocen. ions,
Our Pitt · get. in th ". oup.''
And work!; his .A dam·. apple,
Till he nearly get · the croup.
There are other boy. among them

But we can ne'er forget them:
The. lad. well &lt;'nr . ee,
In joy. ome combination,
All shouting forth their glee.

�VACATIO .
A little boat
Serene afloat,
Upon fair Luna's water ;
A nice young man
Of modern plan,
An old O'ent' pretty daughter.
Awhile he rows,
'Mid lambent glows,
Upon the murm'ring water;
And hugs the shore,
Awhile and more
He hugs the old gent's daughter.
Careful, all you go sips,
Don't you dare to shout.
1i s Van Gilder will get you
If you don't watch out ..
he loves its giddy gurgle,
She loves its fluent flow,
he loves to wind her mouth up,
he loves to hear it go.

uch was the aver ion of Julius Cae ar to tobacco in any form, that we
may ay with strict regard to truth " ot a single cigarette wa moked in
Rome during his whole lifetime.''-Ex.
Virgil, true poet that he was, di liked very much to u e the typewriter,
hence not a sinO'le manuscript ha come to u , written in type.-Ex.
icero wa a great orator, yet he di reO'arded such little formalities of
correct dress, as wearing a silk tie or a Prince Albert coat, and it is not on
record that he ever appeared in the en ate wearinO' either of these.-Ex.

Against all graft I loud intone~
But, durn you, leave my graft alone!
''You seem cro , ook."

In the days of political unrest, the teachings of three great
rr.ericans stand out a a beacon-light of hope. Jeffer on put into
concrete words the sentiment that created a nation of free men .
Washington set the example neces ary for the perpetuation of this
republic by declining a third term as president. Lincoln gave us
an unerring chart to enduring popular government.
As we have followed the lessons of these splendid patriots we
have grown and prospered in material, social and political wealth.
If the blessings of equal rights and opportunities guaranteed by the
princ.ples of the Declaration of Independence are to continue, we
must stand with Washington for limited terms of office, and heed the
inspired warning of the martyred Lincoln at Gettysburg. A trend
toward centralization and continuance in office is not true progressivism, but the reverse. If our republican institutions are to endure,
they must be kept on the foundations laid by the Declaration of
Independence and controlled by the spirit which animated Washington and Lincoln.
Above all, our boys and girls should be taught the underlying
principles of our government, to adhere to their purpose, to shun
elfishness in public life, to avoid hero worship, to withstand the impul es of passion, to jealously guard uprightness in official life, and
to be truly progressive in perfecting republican institutions rather than
by displacing them with the discarded bureaucracy or arbitrary system of government of olden times.

The other day, a boy stepped up to me in the hall, pulled a
piece of paper from his pocket, and held it out to me, saying, "What
do you think of that?"
I looked, and looked again, wondering what I did "think of
that," and why the little picture upon the paper proved o fa cinating,
yet so tantalizing. Gradually recognition dawned upon me. There,
looking up at me, were feature which I ought certainly to recognize,
for they have confronted me for many year - critically in clas -room,
mil:ngly over banquet table, earnestly in private conversation, peremptorily in conference with boys and girl of varying degrees and
characters, jollily at cadet encampments, thoughtfully at committee
meetings, and in many, many moods at social gathering , upon peakers' platforms, in teachers' meetings, during opening exerci es, and so
on, until the mind grows weary of trying to recall the occasions.
There were the features, sure enough, and had I been about twenty
years younger, with a less perfectly matured bump of reverence, I
hould probably have exclaimed, "That's Bill."
For it was.
There were the features-no mistake. Yet the picture did not
satisfy. There was an indefinable void, an intangible lack. My eye
wandered over the details of the sketch, searching, searching for that
missing something, but finding it not. The miniature portrait made
upon me a curiously conglomerate impression.
uch had he looked,
whenever he had pleaded with his boys and girls to be honest and
truthful and good; such, also, had he seemed when, at noon, he
"jollied" the six-foot pigmies who were playfully having each other
against the passing girls and women teachers; thus had he appeared
when hurling anathematical reproof at the insensible, lignum vitae
head of phlegmatic Johannes chwarz; such, also, was he, mirabile
dictu, when he teasingly asked of Edythissime mythe why she wore
one "bean-catchee" instead of three; so had he peered at me, when
(years ago) I had lost the last hred of my tattered temper and had

delivered an ultimatum to ]ehosaphat ]ones, ]r.; thus had he smiled
through hi tears when acknowleding some act of grateful kindness
or peaking of orne departed friend.
It was baffiing, indeed, to try to hold those well-known features
fa t in any one of the moods which were so very familiar; and I felt
as though I were gazing at one of those optical illusion , wherein as
your tormentor suggests, you ee prisms, squares, oblongs, triangles,
steps, ladder --or just lines.
Then, looking more closely still, I discovered the rea on for my
Protean impres ions. The face was there, yet the definite countenance
was gone. The outlines stood out in rather bold drawing, the moustache, the pectacle , the sparse locks upon the round head, the nose
which was hi and his alone-all stood out in bold relief. The background, the filling in, the expression, which would have caused the
face to show some on particular mood, was absolutely wanting.
The lines were there; the life was gone. Beneath were scrawled these
four words. "Cone, but not forgotten."
The more I ponder upon that picture and those words, the more
I feel that their author, whether consciously or by accident, has tersely
and succinctly voiced all the humor and all the pathos of the situation.
Yes, the lines of the man and the lines of his character still confront
us, as we move about the school which was his from March, 1886,
until September, 19 12. Not forgotten, surely, for the pictures, the
customs, the buoks, the teachers, the habits of the school-all suggest
the man (with hi varying interests and changing moods) who had
so much to do with their gathering together. The background, the
filling-in, the real essence of the school, which made of the assembled
books, habits, pictures, customs, teachers, a complete, human and
humanizing whole, which gave them mood and tense and person and
number and voice-the harmonizing background is gone. Not forgotten, but gone. Cone, but not forgotten.

The news of Miss Fauss' death, which occurred ovember 7,
1912, came as a sad surprise to teachers and pupils of the High
School. The disease was so subtle that she never realized her serious
condition, but expected to return soon to her work.
Miss Fauss graduated from the University of outh Dakota,
and also took a three years' graduate course in History and English
at Chicago. Before coming to Denver she taught six years in Cleveland schools.
Her purpose was to fix the essential, and open eyes to possibilIties. She worked persistently and patiently with those who needed
her help most.
It was a delight to pupils to be in her class-room. They were
happy under the influence of a cheerful, even temperament and felt
the earnestness with which she pointed out and enforced the things
worth while. A member of her class said, "I can't tell what it was
that inspired us-it was herself."
Teachers and pupils alike pay tribute to the self-reliant, womanly woman who for eight years did her work well in the Denver
High School.

Listen!

Is it the tired earth that murmurs gently in its sleep,

Is it the wind's low, wierdsome call echoing across the deep,
Or the sound of distant rapids tumbling wildly in their flight,
That my soul is strangely stirring in the calm peace of the night?
Is it the snowy moon low-lying and in purple haze half wound,
oftly crooning 'mid her ighing, to her little ones around?
Or the pinetree needle quiv'ring in the fitful, shim'ring light,
Or frightened elvins' whispers wafted down from the woody height?
Or is it just that sad, sweet vo:ce-

faint, as from wand'ring long,

That I oft have heard through the cool, still night, chanting its
mystic song?
Picturing, sometimes, lands of rest that the faithful soul must win;
But weary, disconsolate, yearning now for the days that might have
been.

�Mr. Ed P. Hermanns came to the West Denver High chool
in eptember of I 891 . As principal of this school he served the
citizens of Denver nobly until June, 1907, when failing health compelled him to resign from a position which held too great responsibilities for hi ebbing strength. One ha only to talk with an old West
Denver graduate to learn that Mr. Hermanns was universally honored and respected in his community as a scholar and excellent
teacher, and an executive of the highest ability.

Oh! just listen to our song;
'Twill be short. We'll not be long.
But some words, we think, had orter now be 3aid
Of a genial, faithful soul.
To the worth let's all pay toll
Of our good old friend and colleague,
Hermanns, Ed.
Though he made the waiter run,
Ere the noonday meal was done,
Till poor Jimmie's face was ruddy and was red,
Yet be sure that Jimmie knew
While for wienerwur the flew,
That he'd naught to dread from good old
Hermanns, Ed.

After a re t of a year, spent partly in travel, Mr. Hermanns
was appointed a teacher in the East ide High chool. A former
Denver principal in a rival high school {and the rivalry u ed to run
much s~ronger then than now) under a rival principal, must needs
have tact. Tho e who knew Mr. Hermanns least feared the dangers
possible from such situation. Those who knew him best scorned such
fears. Hi friends were justified. From the first day und r our
roof he has proved a modest, thoughtful, friendly co-worker to all
his fellow teachers. His long experience as principal he ha made
of use to us through many suggestions, always made deferentially,
usually made in private, most often not made at all, until suggestions
were reque ted.

When he came to us one year,
Every one of us did fear
That we'd get it in the neck or in the head;
For our school was not the West.
Ah! how little had we guessed
All the sterling common sense of
Hermanns, Ed.

Again the bugaboo of ill health has raised its unseemly countenance and thrust its mi~shapen fi t before our friend. Again he
has yielded to its unpleasant suasion and retired-not to seclusion, we
hope, but to an easier, gentler round of les burdensome duties.
May he live long and prosper.

You may talk until you're dumb,
You may walk until you're numb,
You may search until you're down and out and dead.
But your hunt will be in vain,
Through the snow and through the rain,
For a sturdier, stauncher man than
Hermanns, Ed.

The following little catch was sung by a quartette of teachers
at a reception tendered Mr. Hermanns in January (when he resigned
his position) by his former associates in the two high schools:

Miss Maude G. Murri h, who resigned her position as teacher
in the East Side High School in November, was married soon afterward to Mr. Oscar Hover Black, and went to pokane, Washington, to live.

nder her touch William

Shakespeare, Fancy's child" ; there was a field of daffodils swaying
in the wind, the muscles of the tiger were working, ready to spring,
we were little children or warriors, as the occ::tsion demanded, or we

In writing of Mrs. Oscar Hover Black, it is, as icero says,
more difficult to find an end than a beginning. Yet what pen can
adequately describe her, or her admirable qualities? To her we
could truly say:

"Heard the ripple washing in the re::d ,
And the wild water lapping on the crag."
The dullest things became intere ting when studied with her, as
"everything turned to gold under the alchemy of her touch." It
was a life's lesson to dream one's way through the Idylls of the King,
and we all took the vow to "Live pure, spe ~ k true, right wrong,
follow the King."

"None knew thee but to love thee,
Nor named thee but to praise."
Miss Murrish taught for several years in the grades, where she
gained her large knowledge of boys and girls, which gave her such
power in dealing with us of the High chool.
he was known as a
teacher of English, but teacher, as the term is commonly used, do~s
not sufficiently describe her work. She was teacher, comrade, friend,
leader.

Needless to say, di cipline was a negligible quantity. There
was no tirr.e for disorder. If attention wandered, some point was
lost, or the chance to repeat the vow of King Arthur.
"Though the circling flight of time may find us
Far apart, or severed more and more,
Yet the farewell always lies behind us,
And the welcome always lies before."

We cannot as yet fully realize how much we have lost in giving
up Miss Murrish. She was a constant source of inspiration to us.
Quiet and almost reticent out of school, in school she was all feeling
and enthusiasm. Hers was

Kathleen L. Craig.

"The mission of genius on earth. To uplift,
Purify, and confirm by its own gracious gift,
The world, in spite of the world's dull endeavor
To degrade, and drag down, and oppose it forever.
The mission of genius, to watch, and to wait,
To renew, to redeem, and to regenerate."
And she was fulfilling that mission.

�The meeting of the class of 191 3 are a ource of joy to all it
members. They not only afford opportunitie for public expression on
the part of the loquaciou mP.mber , but give ample material for deep
thought to those who do not say much, but think the more. The
teachers, believing entirely in the good judgment and proper behavior
of the noble enior , leave the room on uch occasions. It is possible,
then, to hear applause and laughter, or derisive shouts and hi ses, as
the case may demand . When such que tions arise as what class
colors will best become the Seniors' style of beauty, or how a class
pin containing the mo t gold can be bought with the least money, or
whether the honor system is able to produce the desired effect, there
i great difference of opinion.
When Paul Matlock, during the discussion on class colors, gazing on the various hues represented by the pennants on the wall, firmly
insisted that baby blue and white were the mo t appropriate, and a
voice bellowed from the other side of the room that he did not have
good taste, the president had almost to break his mallet on the de k
to secure good order. Paul Jenness argued that gold and black were
the colors of the illustriou class of 191 0, and we could do no better
than to follow in their foot tep . But George Hopkin refuted his

argument by saying that we had always been an individual class, and
we hould continue to be so, even if it was nece sary to choose outlandish colors. The gentle but persuasive voice of Robert Donaldson
issued from one corner of the room, asking why the cia s did not conider purple and white, which were both artistic and individual. After
much discuss:on, in which the girls took no part, realizing that their
weak voice could exercise little influence upon the shouting boys, a
vote of the class was taken and purple and white were chosen by a
great majority.
The meeting in which the honor system was discussed may be
called not only interesting, but exciting. The first meeting was arranged for two weeks in advance. A number of the honorable
Seniors took the affirmative and a number of equally honorable
eniors took the negative ide and prepared lengthy orations to deliver
on the eventful morning. Earl Cranston was the first to speak. He
placed before the class the outline of the system and discussed in full
its good point and its ucces in some of the greatest colleges in the
United States. When he sat down nearly all were sure they wanted
to establi h the sy tern in the class a soon as po sible. Then another
orator arose, generally known as Addison Manning, who pointed out

�the facts that would make the establishment of the y tern almost
impossible. When he sat down, almost everyone was sure the system
would prove a failure. As the speeches went on the opinions of the
silent ones were swayed from one side to the other. Finally the argument became so heated that when one sat down, five others immediately stood up. The president used all his persuasive power to
quiet the noisy crowd, and some of us regretted that a sergeant-atarms had not been elected along with the other class officers at the
beginning of the year. The meeting was adjourned at a crucial
po:nt when a dozen eniors were on their feet, all speaking at once,
and the vote upon the question was postponed until the next morning
so that due time might be given to its consideration. The votes proved
that the negative side had won, and the honor system was speedily
forgotten.
Many other meetings took place during the first half of the year
for the purpose of electing dance committees, hearing party reports
and the treasurer's reports, and for settling minor matters. But the
greatest meeting of the year is till to come, and every member of
the class is waiting with the utmost interest to hear what the fates
have destined for him in the cia s prophecy and to have his remarkable class history brought before the public.

®()r to tqr Qllass of 1913
When steady-marching time had brought us to this hall,
And with a reckless hand we moulded fate;
How vaguely did we see to what our choice would lead!
How lightly did we estimate its weight!
With fondly swelling pride our hearts and head; we filled,
And hitched our wagon to the star of fame;
But earnest strife ere long transformed our fitful fire
Into the victor's calm, enduring flame.
And now, when we who are about to go, take lean
Of halls to which we're bound by bonds of love,
We lastly link with each the knot of friendship firmThe strongest tie 'twixt man and God above.

�ID4r 1J1arulty

�Three years ago a band of expectant, enthusiastic boys and
girls entered the gates of High chool City in the Land of Knowledge. They first found themselves in Freshman Street, where they
felt very new and strange and quite bewildered by the tall buildings
they saw.
The fir t one they reached was a square, white building, called
Algebra House, which did not look very inviting, and some of the
class had a hard time getting out. Some entered an odd looking
building of ancient architecture, where they were forced to remember
in what state they were thousands of years ago. Others explored a
place that looked like the Roman Forum, and found that they had
to climb many long and tiresome stairways. They had to talk entirely
in Latin, and they all felt quite exhausted when they came out. At
the end of this street they enjoyed the delights of Vacation Garden
for three months.
Then they started down ophomore Avenue. They found so
very many buildings that they scattered about, some going into one
and some into another. One that they all visited was English Hall,
where they saw many curious sights. They found themselves walking among knights and ladies, and were introduced to such illustrious
people as the Merchant of Venice, Sir Roger de Coverley and Silas
Marner. Cresar' s army was encamped on this street, and some had
a difficult time escaping their spears and javelins. Another building
that some explored was called Foreign Languages, where they became
so confused that they scarcely knew in what tongue they were speaking. They next came to a pretty little park, where they spent another
vacation.

As the end of it they entered Junior Way, where they saw a
dark, massive place called the Hall of Physics. They all went in
and the three keepers of the building, Sir Elder, Sir Parker and Sir
Bliss, led them up its dark stairways and through its winding passages. Although they fell through trap-doors now and then, and
received severe shocks, they visited a number of interesting rooms.
Among these was a large room called the Laboratory, where they
worked with so many things that their heads were in a whirl for
months afterward. There were other buildings on Junior Way, two
of which were called Advanced Algebra and Medireval and Modern
History. There was one built in Old English style where they
learned to talk as Chaucer did. Nearly all visited some of these
and had a more or le s hard time getting out. However, they found
many pleasures on this street, for there was an op"n field where thos~
who felt they needed exercise could enter all sorts of athletics. There
was al o a large platform in the center of the street, where they
could make the walls echo with their orations.
The Class of 1914 is now passing along this street, exploring
its buildings and finding many interesting things as they go. Although
they have had hard struggles, there have been many things to make
the way easier and more pleasant, and the majority seem to be in
good humor and high spirits. They can now see Senior Street at the
end of which is beautiful Graduation Palace, where King Barrett
rules over the whole city. It is their determination to reach this Palace with higher honors than any preceding class.

Helen Ropell, '14.

����Hear ye! Hear ye! Hear ye! All ye Freshmen, Juniors,
eniors, and F acuity, bow down before the mighty Sophomore!
This forcible statement is probably not necessary, as we all know
the Freshmen humbly beg our assi lance, and the conceited Junior
and somber Senior tremble for their power when they see us. Why
all this? When you read this history, you will see why all the classmen should render us homage, for we need it, we deserve it, and we
expect it. As we are not given to boasting, you will find only bare
facts contained in the following.
As Freshmen we achieved much. More clubs were successfully
organized by us in Latin chool than by any other class. Many of
u met unparalleled success in athletics. In the class-room each and
every one of us was a conscientious student, and it was no uncommon
occurrence for a teacher to praise us. Although loaded down with
laurels, we were quiet and courteous in demeanor and deportment.
o, even as Freshmen, we showed in some small measure what we
ultimately would be.
This year, as Sophomores, we firmly and manfully, but not
noisily and ostentatiously, took upon ourselves the task of surpassing
the record of all former clas es. Our success, moreover, has been
unequaled. It was almost impossible to satisfy the desire of this class
for athletic tickets, and if our thirst had not been quenched, the

.- pnntmg machines would still be running. We have furnished more
than the full quota of men for the different teams. Our presence,
moreover, in the grand land always inspired the players. The upper
classmen are given to burning midnight oil in order to compete with
our talent in Minerva and Congress. Many from those organizations
entered for the preliminary Woodbury and Wolcott conte ts, and the
ones who were chosen represented us as only members of this class
can.
Happily, our time is not all passed in diversions, as we must
spend a portion of it in the class-room in getting honors. You need
not ex pre s any skepticism at this. For we, in our ever-persistent way,
wrestled with and were victorious over those fantastic triangles and
circles of geometry, until now they are ashamed to show their heads.
We were not startled nor dismayed when told that "Gaul as a whole
is divided into three parts." In a like manner, we have become o
proficient in our studies that the F acuity asks our advice on every
weighty question.
Hear ye this, my good friends: we have the optimism of youth
and the years to come seem beautiful. We, also, hope that when we
leave these classic halls to go forth into the world, we may be of
service to mankind, that we may be able to uphold our school and do
honor to our chosen professions.

�afternoon I was in a high mood for excitement, but none of the possible amusements was equal to the occasion. I was sitting in my room at the time, so I tilted my
chair back against the wall, closed my eyes, and turned the crank. Fortunately for
my adventure the earth had revolved to such a position that I found myself on the bottom of it, with my head stretching down into space. That gave me the cue, and I let
go and at once started to drop. And, fellows, take it from me, if you want a thrill that outclasses any tickling of the spine you ever felt, try dropping off the earth. For the first two
million miles of drop I put in the liveliest period of my limited existence. Between getting acclimated and dodging itinerant stellar attractions, I was pretty busy all around. But after the
first two or three million miles of this it became rather boring, and to add to my ennui I discovered that the attractive forces m the umverse
were of a minus quantity at the particular spot to which I had arrived, and that I was perfectly still. I kept thinking what a chump I was to
embark upon such an inane adventure; but I found that moralizing was useless, so I tried swimming in my ocean of air. But, to add to my
annoyance, I found that, paddle as I would, I could not make much more than an inch an ho~r-and this after my recent rapid transit.

�Well, aboul this tim I had almost b come disgu ted, and
wa deciding to go home, when fortune again smiled on me in the
form of a pa ing meteor. Without a thought I hopped on, and felt
greatly relieved to find myself once more making some headway.
But in my reveri I failed to notice where I was going, until with a
sicken;ng sense of repul ·ion my nostrils were assailed with the odor
of burning hair, and, faint in heart, I ob erved my raven tresses had
turned an ashen hue. I hurled myself at once off that faithless vehicle
and clutched frantically at the tail of a passing comet, b~t. alas, too
late! I felt myself borne forward by a resistless force, and before
I could gather my cattered wits I crashed into an unknown something. However, I came to, uninjured, and to my great joy found
(Upon thinking the incident over
my hair its accustomed black.
later I concluded that I must have suffered an optical illusion, due to
the presence of unknown gases.) After this happy discovery, I et
out on a tour of exploration, but it was quite unnecessary, for I had
not gone ten feet before the trong odor of Iimburger cheese made it
clear to me that I was on the moon. "Whoop-la!" I cried to the

empty a1r, and pulling out my pocket-knif , sel to work, and in a
hort time I had supplied myself with a lunch of most delicious cheese.
Well, after I had sati lied my hunger, I set out to find "that orbed
maiden with white-fire laden," whom I had heard mentioned in connection with the moon.
And, though I traversed every inch of the 2 79,514 square
miles of surface on the moon, I discovered no such person, and I am
ready to give a sworn statement to the effect that such a person is a
fict :on, and that anybody holding such an opinion does so in direct
defiance of the true state of affairs. But, though I discovered no
inhabitants for the moon, I did discover a fact which materially affected my welfare, namely, that in my traveling I had come to the
under side of the moon, and thal the earth was directly beneath me.
With transports of joy, I rushed forward, and soon found myself
treading the sands of the earth once more. I arrived just in time
for dinner, of which I partook heartily; and, having spent a comfortable night, I awoke much refreshed in the morning.

��a permanent one, and serve as a place of refuge for those fellow unfortunates who came in after years. Therefore the present Congress
is made up of a similar group of boys who meet to debate about that
which they are not permitted to discuss in the regular chool hours.
The clearest idea of this marvelous body can undoubtedly be
gained by an actual visit, when these great men can be seen and heard
in real life. If, in the neighborhood of eight o'clock, a visitor wanders
into the building, he is immediately attracted by the loud shouts and
bellows coming from the vicinity of Room 9 (Congressional Hall).
He enters cautiously and finds a seat in the gallery (about ten seats
in the rear), where he makes himself as comfortable as possible. He
then turns his attention to the proceedings on the floor and sees the
clerk reading the Congressional journal. This is an odd record of
the proceedings of the previous meeting. After he has finished, the
business of the body is discussed in a long series of short speeches,

A great many students of this school have a very vague idea of
the High chool ongres , while a large number know nothing whatever about it. They might, perhaps, notice the scribbling on the
board, " ongre s tonight," or perhaps hear an announcement at
morning exercises about some such body, but beyond that all is a
blank. Therefore, a word of explanation might help matters out a
little.
About eight years ago a group of queer boys of the East ide
High chool became terribly afflicted with a kind of oratorical fever,
the after-effect of which was the inces ant delivery of master orations.
The school stood it as long as possible and then demanded a halt.
The victims then met and organized an "Orators' Protective As ociation," as it were, and dubbed it " ongress." They decided to
meet on Friday evenings when they would be undisturbed, and could
rave on unmolested. They further provided that their body should be
82

�which are, for the most part, vague and have no point to them.
They are on subjects of all kinds, and are consequently very humorous. Here, too, are included the reports of committees. Each
chairman makes his report to the effect that his committee has done
nothing during the past week, but that there is an encouraging promise
for the future. Next comes the report of the treasurer, who rises to
announce that 71 cents is deposited in the ongressional treasury.
(Loud applause.)
So far in the proceedings a certain member has distinguished
himself by continually leaping to the floor and demanding recognition
on a point of order. He possesses a terrible voice, and makes the
entire house shudder as he delivers his highly polished speeches. At
length a fellow visitor whispers that that is Senator Cranston, the
President of the Senate. On all Minerva and other girl affairs, for
orne unknown reason, Representatives Wells and Manning, and Senator Heitzman seem to assume all responsibility. Certainly some clue
can be found which will tell the whole story.
Finally the bill for the evening is read, which announces the
oncoming struggle. This starts the real fun. Carefully studied
speeches are reeled off faster than a moving picture film . The air is
set into rapid motion by the oscillations of fore-limbs . Questions pass
between participants in quick succession . The president attempts to
rule over all with absolute justice, but creates enemies, on one side
or the other, when he interprets a fine point of legislation in favor of
the opposition. The sergeant-at-arms is also placed in a precarious
position at times, but there is no actual bloodshed. The leaders
finally become angry, and excitement runs high when the vote on the
bill is taken which decides the destiny of the Union.
Adjournment quickly follows, and all the cares and responsibilities of these great statesmen are quietly set aside for the lighter form
of amusement found at "Gay Paree."

��IDriangular 111rhatr
On March fourteenth, after many weeks of continued hard
study, the debating teams of East ide met the opposing teams of the
entennial High chool of Pueblo and of the Colorado prings High
School, in the fifth annual debate of the Triangular Debating League.
The que tion before the League was, "Re olved, That United tales
Vessels Engaged in oastwise Trade hould Be Exempted From
Panama Toils."
The negative team, made up of Philip Adams, Paul Matlock,
and Haggott Beckhart, under the able coaching of Mr. Karge, went
to the prings, where they received the best treatment that could
possibly have been accorded them. After one of the closest debates
in the history of the league, the decis"on was given to East Side by
the close vote of three to two.
The home team, which included Addison Manning, Earl ran ston, and Burdette Van An:dall, also put up a strong fight, but lost
the decision by a vote of four to one. They had some very forcible
points, but entennial had so:ne that were even stronger- some which
East couldn't answer. The meeting was conducted by Mr. Potter,
who wa also coach of the affirmative team. The audience was far
smaller than it should have been, considering the excellence of the
debate.

AIM .
The aim of this society is to develop m its members a high
standard of literary work, democratic school spirit, and true fellow ship.

WORK.
The work of the Minerva Literary ociety this year has been
varied. At the beginning of the year we discussed woman's suffrage
and other questions of interest to women and children under the very
able guidance of Miss Sabin. Later, with the help of Miss Park,
Miss N afe and Miss Kennan we studied and interpreted several
modern dramas, especially those of the three well-known Irish dramatists, W. B. Yeats, ]. L. Synge and Lady Gregory. Kathleen ni

86

�Hoolihan, one of Yeats' plays, was read exceedingly well by Anita
Heck. Another of Yeats' plays, The Pot o' Broth, was learned
and presented by Kathleen Craig, Zilpha Carruthers and Cyprienna
Turcotte. The Ris :ng of the Moon, one of Lady Gregory's plays,
was given by Mayme Kolinsky, June Davis and Eva Smernoff. All
of these plays were very interesting, and the girls who presented them
should have much credit for their good work. From among the works
of the English dramatists we studied two plays, The Terrible Meek,
by Charles Rann Kennedy, which was read with much power by
Marion Hawkins, and The ilver Box, by John Galsworthy, which
was well interpreted by Hyacinthe Scott. Before the plays were
presented a short biographical sketch of the author was given.

There is also a membership committee. The girls composing
this committee for the first semester were Edith chnell, Goldie Latenser, Eva mernoff and Gertrude Kaplan, and for the last semester,
Kathleen Craig, Harriet Johmon, Florence Cranston and F ranees
Wilkin.
The Journal staff for the first semester consi ted of Dorothy
Loomis , editress-in-chief; Mayme Kolinsky, representative-at-large;
Edith chnell, assistant editress; Jennie trasburg, sen =or representative; Marion Prentiss, junior repre entative; Amy Pitkin, sopho:r:ore
representative. For the second semester, Marion Prentiss, editressin-chief; Dorothy Loomis, assistant editress; Edith Schnell, representative-at-large; Charlotte Wood, semor repre entative; Hazel
Hopkins, junior representative; Florence Cranston, sophorr.ore representative.

The work for the rest of the year will consist of the study of
several of the great musicians and writers. When a composer's work
is presented, the selections discussed will be interpreted by one who
has made a study of that composer.

everal social events brightened the year. These event were
presided over by an executive committee consisting of Alma Keehn,
Gertrude Cooper, Maria Mar h, Dorothy Loomis and Hyacinthe
cott for the first semester, and Maria Marsh, Cyprienna Turcotte,
Charlotte Wood, and Marguerite DeCloud for the s cond semester.

At each meeting the Minerva Journal is read. · The Journal is
under the supervision of an editress-in-chief and five assistants. It
generally con ists of an editorial, a short story, a poem, current events,
and jokes. The Journal has been unusually well edited during the
present year.

The sugge tion for the Congress-Minerva play which was such
a success came from the Minerva girls.

The programs are prepared a half year in advance by a program
committee. Those on the committee who prepared the program for
the first semester were Alma Keehn, Marie Hansen and Marguerite
DeCloud. The programs for the second semester were prepared by
Helen Durbin, Harriet Johnson, and Anita Heck. These members
deserve much praise for their excellent programs.

We feel that we have accomplished much this year and hope
to accompli h more. The afternoons we are now enjoying in the
Minerva Literary Society will in the future be one of the fondest
memories of High School days.

��MEMBERS

The East ide High chool enate was organized September
20th, 1912, in Room 5 of the main building. There were seven
charter members, but this number ha increased to twenty.
The purposes of the enate, as set forth in the constitution,
are to provide training in parliamentary law, to furnish instruction in
the great political and economic questions of the hour, and to promote
good fellowship.
The regular meetings of the Senate are held in Room 5 every
Friday afternoon at 2 :40 p. m. The program consists of a debate
and general discussion on some current question. Every member is
given a chance to speak.
Twice during the year the en ate has met teams from other
schools in debate. In one of these debates it was successful, in the
other it met defeat. Its members made a showing in the Woodbury
contest.
Altogether, for a new organization, the Senate has made a
splendid showing.

At last, after many attempts, East Side has succeeded in bringing all the Denver high schools together in an oratorical contest.
Each school has had its athletics dating back nearly to its founding,
but an inter-~cholastic contest in oratory is a new event in high school
life.
he importance of "fight"ng it out" with brains as well as
with muscle has at last been formally recognized.
Five well-planned rr:usical numbers contributed by the different
schools, assisted the orators i,. making the evening intensely interesting. Of these perhaps none was more popular than that furnished by
our own quartette, which was clapped back to the tune of six or eight
encores.
In the contest East Side was represented by Paul B. M atlock,
who delivered "God's Land Which Man Forgot." In spite of his
good descriptions and forceful delivery, the prize was awarded to
Garrett Scott of Manual, whose subject was "The Destiny of the
Philippines." Good evidence of the popularity of the contest was
given by the attendance of a large crowd.
Those who took part were:

Thirty-eight years have pas ed since the Hon. R. W. Woodbury recognized the need of a prize oration conte t for East id
High chool, and donated a permanent prize for that purpo e. During its long period of existence the Woodbury D clamation ontest
has been an important factor in the estimation of students and teacher
alike.
orne of the community's most eminent business and professional men have been competitor in this contest and take great interest
in watching their sons corr.p te for those honors for which, at one
time, they so valiantly struggled. They have recognized its value to
them in later life and recommend it very highly to the coming generation . judging from the last conte t, this event i ju t starting a period
of new life, and if it maintains its present standard, it will surpass
those brilliant records of which the old-timer so boastfully speak.

an unusually large audience.

would have found it impos ible to do so. The medal was won by
Paul B. Matlock, a member of the enior class. He delivered the
"Dedication of the edgwick Monument," by urtis. He had several very clo e seconds, and up to the last minute the decision of the
judges was in doubt. The class of 191 3 claims the honor of being

"He cometh unto us rvith a tale rvhich holdeth children from
plaJJ and old men from the chimneJJ corner."- Sir Philip SidneJ).
A very wise choice was mad· when "The hadowless Man"
from the German by Chamisso was selected and read as a continued
story by the twelve contestants elected from the four classes. The
entire story was exceptionally well read, and the judges frankly admitted that they had had great difficulty in selecting the winner. The
final dec:sion was in favor of Marion Hawkins, a worthy representa tive of the Senior class. The other girls were: Charlotte Wood,
Lea Penman, Edith Schnell, Gertrude Kaplan, Elizabeth Morgan,
Isabel Redmond, ] une Davis, Minnie T okarsky, Edythe Deeds,
Kathryn King, Frances Wright.
"The Shadowless Man" is an allegorical story. A merry
crowd had gathered for a picnic party. The ones most notable in
the party were "the man in the grey suit" and Peter Schlemihl. Someone of the party wished for a telescope. The wish was no sooner
expressed than granted, for "the man in the grey suit" took one from
his pocket. With the same ease he also took from his pocket a Turkish rug, a tent and its accessories, and several beautiful horses, as the
various wishes were expressed.
When Peter Schlemihl left the party and strolled off through
the woods, he was followed by "the man in the grey suit," who
offered him F ortunatus' purse if he would give up his shadow. Peter
thought that an easy way to become wealthy, so gave up his shadow.
He returned to the village, but thenceforth his life was almost unbearable. Even the school children hooted at him as he passed, and cried
out, "0, there goes a man without a shadow." In spite of unlimited
wealth, his only comfort was his servant Bendel, who did all he could
to serve as his master's shadow.
At a dinner party Peter Schlemihl met Minna, a very beautiful
girl. He could not declare his love, for he was without a shadow, but
M inna was not aware of this deficiency. Peter searched for the "man

in the grey suit," and his search was finally rewarded by the promise
from Mephisto of a meeting in a year and a day.
As time went on Peter's love for Minna grew, and he determined to ask her to marry him, shadow or no shadow. He accordingly presented himself before her father and informed him that in a
month and a day he would sue for his daughter's hand, and explained
the delay by saying the obstacles, which then prevented, would at
that time be removed. In due time he presented himself-but the
obstacles had not been overcome. The father, on learning that he
was "the man without a shadow," ordered him to leave, but gave
him three days to recover his other self. Otherwise, at the end of
that time the father would marry Minna to someone else.
Peter was in despair. On the next day "the man in grey" appeared, and Peter learned that in his impatience he had reckoned a
day ahead of the time. Peter begged for the return of his shadow.
He would give up his wealth, his all, for the return of that shadow.
But the one thing, which the Evil One coveted, which Peter would
not give up, even for the beloved shadow, was his soul. Argument,
pleading, sneers, sarcasm, availed not.
On returning home Peter fo und that his servant Rascal had
stolen all his money and married M inna. He left his native town
and became a scientist. One day, having forgotten to remove one
of the slippers which he wore to overcome the magic of his sevenleague boots, one leg fell into the Bering ea. When he came to,
he was lying in a hospital, founded and named for him by Bendel
and M inna.
"Granting that Popularity is a shadow, its absence causes much
discomfort.''
Music was furnished by Thornton Fuller; Muriel Donaldson·
and Fred Coldren, Adrian White, and D on Crews.

The East Denver High chool ( crap Iron) Male Quartette
was organized in the fall of 1911 by Mr. E. Waite Elder. The
personnel is as follows: Philip Adams, first tenor; Horace Wells,
econd tenor; Edward Bloom, first bass; and Burdette Van Arsdall,
second bass. The purpose of this quartette was to afford pleasant
work for the members, and incidentally to form an organization which
might contribute a little to the entertainment of the school. The
quartette made its first pubi=c appearance at the Woodbury Declamation Contest, December 22, 1911. At this time Malcolm McLean was singing first bass. During the rest of the year it appeared
quite of ten upon the Friday programs, at the music hour, and also
sang at the Wolcott Reading Contest, the Triangular Debate, and
the Senior Leap Year Party.
The activities of this re:narkable quartette, which, by the way,
has greatly improved since its organization, were resumed at the
beginning of the present school year. It wasn't long till the boys
had again contributed to the Friday programs. At their first appearance they sang, with great expression, those two excellent songs,
"Sailing" and "Sally in Our Alley." When generously called back
by the suffering audience, they rendered that woeful little ditty
entitled "Romeo and Juliet." The inimitable manner in which
Adams rendered the part of Romeo charmed his hearers, but when
"Van" sank down to the grave with Juliet, the audience was convulsed. The next time the quartette appeared was at the Senior
Hallowe'en Party. On this occasion George Duffield of the Sing
Sing Quartette, ably took the place of Van Arsdall and Mr. Pitts
that of Adams.

�Many came to believe that this quartette, which apparently
never made a mistake, was infallible. These people were relieved of
their misapprehension, however, one Friday morning in the Assembly
Room. The boys sang in Room 1 without making a single error.
Such an unprecedented performance naturally gave rise to the premonition that they would not be able to continue such excellence.
Mr. Elder gave them their keynote. (It must be observed that this
quartette always sings without accompaniment.) The note he gave
them was a third too high, but the boys made a brave attempt to
sing the song at that pitch. After a few words Mr. Elder realized
his mistake, and they began again. The next time they got through
the first two lines of their song all right, but that premonition was
still at work, and made them forget the words and the tune. They
b~gan again. This time, perhaps buoyed up by the sight of a fair
face in the audience, they finished the song. As the second number
they repeated the popular "Romeo and Juliet." By the time they
had mournfully wended their way through this sorrowful tale of woe,
the memory of their bad beginning was fast fading. As an encore
they related the close connection between the Jay Bird on the Hickory
Limb and Julia's Poodle in such a way as to earn complete forgiveness from the audience.
The quartette sang at several similar events during the year and
will probably be heard from in the future. The voices are very well
balanced and blend extraordinarily well, having had so little training.
The boys have labored under many disadvantages, and both they
and Mr. Elder deserve a great deal of praise for turning out a quar-

tette which would be a credit to any organization and of which East
Denver is justly proud.

Anon.
N. B.-The gentle reader has probably already come to the
inevitable conclusion that such eloquent praise of the quartette as this
could only have been written by a member of that organization.Literary Editor.

One Saturday afternoon, while walking by Eighteenth and
Broadway, the sound of many voices singing in unison came to my
ears. Across the street stood Trinity Church, from which the dulcet
strains seemed to issue. Wi hing to investigate, I crossed the street
and, since the door was open, entered. Following the sound, I came
finally to a group of young ladies who were trying to outdo Melba
and embrich.
Equally interested in producing the desired result, a gentleman
who looked suspiciously like Mr. Whiteman waved his arms, bobbed
his head, and beat time with force and precision.
My interest having by this time been thoroughly aroused, I decided to carry my investigations further. I learned that this group
of musical devotees was the Girls' Chorus Club of East Denver High
chool. Further, that they practiced in Mr. Whiteman's stud;o
every Saturday afternoon and were, due to the excellent training
they had received, well on the road to become bright musical stars.
The Chorus Club was formed to give those who desired it a
deeper study of singing than that gained from the ordinary music in
school. And one could see this result in the confident and effective
performance of the chorus. This was further proved by a little incident wh:ch ju t then occurred. Mr. Whiteman was trying out an
applicant, since only the best voices were desired. The young lady's
voice rose in a quavering, shaky manner and soon broke altogether.
he was frightened and had lost her head. No doubt the atmosphere
of judge, wh:ch the leader and Chorus Club threw about her, unstrung the petitioner, who really had a good voice. Seeing this, Mr.
Whiteman encouraged her and remarked that she had made as good
a showing as the rest, and would soon gain the confidence that was
then lacking.

/

Just then my attention was called to the piano by the beautiful
music which i~sued from it. The Chorus Club feels that without
Miss Margaret Fraser not half so much could be accomplished.
The Chorus lub is al o socially inclined, as was proved by
the charming tea which they gave to Mr. and Mrs. Whiteman at the
studio.
Although I wanted to know more, the club at this moment left.
As I reluctantly left the church, I decided that the Chorus Club
should be always m my memory for giving me such a pleasant half
hour.

And it came to pass that in the year one thousand nine hundred
and thirteen, that Barret'alistus and Balapitt'sazus, the kings of our
tribe, ent me engers to John'anickdok'alas, who spake, saying: "It
has been decreed that on the ixth day of the third week of this great
month of Thanksgiving, that the most high and exalted eniors of the
East ide High chool appoint some of their brethren to be players
on instruments of musick, on harps, and cymbal , on instruments of
ten strings, or lift up their voices with joy."
o the players, Don,
Mayme, lara and Wesley, were appointed to sound with harp and
cymbals of brass; while Eva and Florence were for song, because
they were skillful. And it came to pass that the high and most
exalted Seniors lifted up their voices with joy, and at the tinkling of
cymbals, danced.
And it came to pas that in the month of February, Barret'alistus again sent messenger to John'anickdok'alas, who spake, saying: "It has been decreed that the high and noble Seniors again
appoint some of their brethren to be players on harps and cymbals of
brass, or to lift up their voices with joy."
o John' anickdok' alas
went forth with his trumpet and shouted: " orne forth, all ye
mighty eniors, to our great Room ixteen, after the sixth hourcome, make merry and dance." And they came from the east and
the west; from the north, from the south; the maidens, the lads, the
tall, the short; all came to make merry with John' anickdok' alas,
their king. And they appointed Mudge, Duffield, McNulty and
Iarke to make a joyful noise. Now these four youths were the
sons of a king, and were clothed in raiment of the color of the great
vault of heaven, when the clouds have disappeared, and the clothes
with which their necks were adorned were of a scarlet hue which
dazzled the eyes of those who beheld, even as the rays of the midsummer sun, reflect:!d from the brazen dome of the capitol dazzle the
eyes of those who behold. And it came to pass that they lifted up

their voices and made a joyful noise. And all those who heard were
moved to tears. And great was the sorrow thereof. And so the
most high and exalted eniors appointed Ed Robinson to shower the
singers of psalms with sweet-smelling herbs. And he bestowed upon
them many herbs, fresh from the fields. And the singers were pleased,
and received the flowers with great joy and thanksgiving.
And there was given a book unto harlotte. And, as was her
custom, she went upon the platform to read. And when she had
opened the book, and found the place where it was written, she
read "B'rer Rabbit." And she read with all the majesty and ease
of a queen. And all who heard were pleased. And it came to pass
that Don, Adrian, Fred and Charles sang with psaltery and instruments of ten strings. And they played skillfully and sang new
songs. And Harry, the great speaker of the language of the Ethiopia, spake unto the Seniors concerning "Rastus." And great was
the applause thereof.
At last there was great rejoicing at the sound of the organ.
And the mo t high and exalted eniors marveled, for they knew that
John'anickdok'alas had given the signal for the dancing to commence. And old and young, short and tall, danced; everybody
made merry and danced.
And it came to pass that the most high and exalted eniors
ceased their dancing and their merrymaking and put on their heavy
raiment of wool, and prepared to return to their homes, from whence
they had come. But they appointed a few of their brethren to send
messengers to Barret' alistu and Balapitt' sazus, who spake, saying:
"The most high and exalted Seniors and their king, John' anickdok'alas, give unto you their warmest thanks for giving unto them this
great pleasure of merrymaking and dancing." And great was the
rejoicing thereof.

Th ~ preparation and presentation of the

enior Play is one of
the mo t pleasant and memorable event of the chool year. This
year was an especially busy one for the Senior class, and for that
reason the cast was not chosen, or the play pres:!nted as early as is
customary.
The play chosen thi year was "As You Like It." It is a
familiar play of hakespeare, and dear to all who know it. Many
were the hearts that were anxious and troubled before the final selection of members of the "theatrical troupe" (so designated by the
Right Honorable Mr. Pitts), and, if the truth were told, there were
troubled hearts afterwards as well.
The maxim, "all work and no play," etc., was well kept in
mind, for the rehearsals were full of whole-hearted fun. And if you
will believe it, Mr. Pitts was the ringleader in the sport as well as
the able director of the work. Boys were rescued from fire-e capes,
and from the dizzy and p:!rilous heights of windows on the third
floor. Patience ceased to be a virtue when all had to wait, while the
young gallants whispered sweet nothing into feminine ears.
The members of the cast were Lea Penman, Rosalind; Mabelro e Wilc!man, Celia; Florence Fox, Phoebe; Kathleen Craig,
Audrey; Horace Wells, Orlando; Burdette Van Arsdall, Oliver;
Will Kelly, Adam; Wesley Osborne, Touchstone; Joe Naylor,

It wa

tartled, I turned, and there
stood Old Father Time, with his cythe and his hour-gla s, ju t as I
had een him in pictures.
"Good resolutions again?" he laughed, good-naturedly. "Well,
a a gentle reminder, here corres poor old 191 2 with all his regret
for the thing you should have done but didn't, and those you
shouldn't have done but did."
As Father Time poke, old 191 2, majestic and sad, entered
the room. Following him were a crowd of little black imps, who
looked exactly like the Gloom in the funny pictures. A I sat
staring at the e shadowy figures in a dazed sort of way and wondering if tho e Regret really were all mine, I heard a vociferous "rahrah-rah," and the little ew Year carre dancing in, with a baseball
bat over one houlder and a foo'b:ill under hi arm. He was followed by a troop of Happy Little Hopes for 1913, who all waved
red and white pennants and rah-rah-rahed with their leader. A dear,
chubby little fellow he wa , the Little ew Year, with a jolly smile
on hi face.
"Hello, Old Father Tirre," he said, "a Happy New Year

customs back to the dim pa t with 191 2, and have some new tunes
on this old merry-go-round."
Old Father Time' eyes twinkled at the merry little fellow's assurance, as he remarked, "I don't know what you're going to do, but
you'd better not do it."

"Never mind, governor, I've got some of the dandiest schemes.
I tell you, my think-tank's been busy. First I'm going to-But
wait, I'll show you."
He open d the door and beckoned, and the queerest looking
creature came in. It was a great, big "X," and it wore on its
face an expression like a question mark. Little 191 3 performed th
introductions.
"This is Mr. Algebra. And now let me tell you why I turned
the spot-light on him. I'm always strong for the boys and girls, and
now that I'm the main guy, I hereby appoint myself a good roads
committee of one. I'm going to put the gang to work and we'll see
if we can't have smoother traveling for this rising young generation.
I've begun with old Algebra here. I've told him that he must turn
over a new leaf and make his unknown quantities easy to find. He
doesn't like it a bit, but he'll have to stand it. I'd make him tell you
himself, but he's such a sulky fellow he keeps what h knows to himself." ("Yes," I thought, "I never could get anything out of Algebra, either.")
Just then a personage wearing a costume which strongly reembled those I had seen in pictures of ancient Romans, entered the
room. He was not tall, but his pre ence was commanding.
"This is Julius c~sar. Well, Julius, old sport, tell us what
I'm going to make you do."
Old Father Time looked quite shocked at this very disrespectful
speech, but it did not di turb ~sar in the least.
"Why, he seems to th!nk that in writing my 'Gallic Wars,' I
have added a great load to the burden which suffering humanity ha3
to bear. He says that he is going to write a book in the English
language which shall contain no word of less than five syllables. I

�shouldn't be worried at all if he did it by himself, for I don't take
much stock in him, but he says he's go;ng to have Mr. Pitts help him,
and that I shall be required to make my translation as rapidly as is
'compatible with dignity.' That looks rather bad for me, doesn't
it?" Julius said, with a worried smile. I agreed with him, having
had some experience with Mr. Pitts' extensive vocabulary my elf.
Cesar now sat down beside 1912 and began to discuss the degeneracy of the present times.

"Why, hello, Eddie, I'd almost forgotten you."
I turned, and there in the door stood Mr. Burke. He came
forward and addre sed the company in his b st speech-making style.
"The honorable gentleman infom:s rr:e that, owing to the ambiguity of some of my staterr:ents, I rr:u t re-write my peech on
Conciliation in words of one syllable. I could refute his arguments
just as well as I refuted all of Lord ' orth's, if I were so dispo ed,
but I always felt that I should like to wr:te omething really simple.
Besides, I meant to convert the members of Parliament by my speech,
and I never supposed it would be used as an instrument of torture for
poor eniors. Therefore, I shall gladly do as he requests."
"Thanks, Eddie," aid 191 3. "I see you approve of my
plan, although you never did believe in trying new schemes. What
do the re t of you think of it?"
on ervative Old Father Time poke up: "I am surpri ed at
Mr. Burke. I felt sure he would consider the plan impracticable. I
want to tell you that I certainly do."
Here Algebra actually showed some animation by shouting,
"Hear, hear!" but Julius C~esar, the apple, and I all agreed with
19 1 3 ; and I'm sure you do, too.
Just then the clock struck twelve, and they all vani he d. Bells
began to ring ; whistles began to blow ; people in the streets were
shouting, "Happy ew Year, Happy ew Year"; and I went to
bed in a placid frame of mind, and left the good resolutions to the

The Little ew Year now ran to the door. "Why, how do
you do?" he said, to empty air, it seemed to me, but upon looking
carefully I saw a nice, big, rosy apple.
"I am that famous and unfortunate apple," it said, "that fell
from the tree under which Sir Isaac ewton was stttmg. 'Oh, what a
fall was there, my countrymen.' Sir Isaac wouldn't come him elf.
He has such an exalted opinion of the physical laws he has discovered that he thinks the world owes him a vote of thanks. But I
offer my sincere apologies for having been one of the original causes

"We have you, Mr. tevenson," said the Little ew Year, in
a brisk and business-like tone. "We'll see that Mr. Newton turns

�It was an ideal setting for a battle. The un was halfway
down the sky, which was clear save for one little patch of white
cloud that were lazily hanging in the heavens as if they did not fear
the glare of the benevolent afternoon un. The great pine trees towering like sentinels cast long hadows over the little tream. It could
hardly be called a river for it was barely twenty feet from side to
side, yet there was something about it which sugge ted the latent force
of the river it was to form. As yet it was really nothing but a roaring rna s of hallow pool behind huge rocks with even shallower riffles above them. Thu , small and incon equential, it roared through
the forest which reached over the rounded top of " ugar Loaf" to the
summit of "Old Gus" on one side and up the steep slopes of Ute
Peak on the other. At this point the stream ran close to the wooded
slope of " ugar Loaf" and made a sharp turn alrr.ost a horseshoe in
shape. On the inner side of the curve there was a low, gravelly
beach, but on the other side was a huge rock, large enough to hold a
wagon and team of hor es on its broad top. Beneath this huge pro·
tecting bulwark the river ran in a deep, swirling eddy, slowly but

surely eating its way into the heart of the rock. In such a setting
surely the antagon=sts must be kings of their kind.
For three summers had the man tried in vain to catch that trout.
The Monarch of the outh Fork he had named him, and well. When

him as about a two-pounder. The summer before he had passed the
three-pound mark.
Now the old fisherman believed he would
weigh at least five pounds, if not more.
ever before in all his forty
years of angling had he seen such an elusive trout, thought the man, as
he gazed down at the speckled beauty lazily snapping up the willow
flies from the surface of the water. Many times that summer had
the slim figure of the fisherman been seen on the outh Fork. Day
after day, week after week, had he trudged up the river to continue
his duel of wits with the old trout. Often had he gone in over the
tops of his high rubber boots, which reached almost to the dirty old
corduroy coat, from the pocket of which stuck a red fly book. More
than once some low-hanging branch had knocked his slouch felt hat
into the river and left uncovered the thin, craggly gray hair, which

bent on a long-cherished ambition? Was he not known as the best
fisherman in Middle Park? It was not for naught that he had won
this title, and now he vowed to catch the Monarch this time, or forever let him rest.

hope when suddenly there was a flash, a strike, a jerk, and the
"Monarch of the outh Fork" was hooked.

lowly and carefully he crept around the curve below the pool,
and crossing the stream came out on the inner beach. Stooping low
lest the big fellow see him, he carefully examined his leader and flies.
He decided to first try a "Royal
oachman" and a "Brown
I Iackie." Having secured hi flies to the leader, he cautiously reeled
out about fifteen feet of line and gently casting in at the upper end
of the pool. let his flies float down into the eddy where he knew the
big fellow was lying. Excited by the nearness of hi quarry, the old
fisherman slowly raised himself to a standing position just as the trout
started for the fly. Instantly he dropped, but too late; the fish had
seen him and turned back to the bottom. Time after time the man
cast tho e elusive but dangerous flies over the great trout, but to no
avail. The wise old trout had too often eluded the hook concealed
in similar flies to be easily deceived now.

great trout. On, on he went till the man began to fen that the end

convulsive leap, now down among the rock of the bottom he tore.
But it was beyond the power of a trout, king though he was, to maintain such a pace. Gradually his ru hes shortened and slowly the man
tightened the line . 1 here were but thirty feet of line between the
"Monarch" and his enemy, now twenty-five, now twenty, when suddenly the big fellow turned and made one final rush straight at the
figure on tl-.e shore and sprang into the air alrro t at his feet. He
gave one lc:st to s of his great head in a desperate endeavor to shake
out that st'ngmg barb, and dropped back into the water, free. The
old graybeard dropped his head, and turning away murmured an
inarticulate oath to conceal his wounded pride and his admiration of
the "Monarch of the South Fork."

Gripping h's blackened pipe rrore tightly between his teeth, the
old man sat down to wait. Fifteen minutes, half an hour, he waited
with the patience of one who had never known defeat. He knew

river had forgotten what he had seen. Opening his fly book, he took

When the championship series opened, East started by defeating West, 6 to 0 . On account of our poor showing against West,
Mr. Kester worked the team until after dark every night the following week . The next aturday East met South and was defeated by
the score of 18 to 6. In this game East did not play "football"
until th game was lot. On November 23 East beat North by the
core of 26 to 6. This was the best game of the series- from our
point of view. The men in this game certainly showed that they
could play football. Thanksgiving day we met Manual and were
defeated in the Ia t minute of play.

The sea on of 191 2 opened with very good pro pects for us.
We had Baird, Hopkins, chreiber, hotwell, Cunningham and
Heitzman back from last year, and plenty of new material for a good
team.
In the games out of town, the team made a very good showing.
It defeated the strong Fort Morgan team, which claims the championship of the Northern Division, and the Aggie Short Horns, who have
been defeated but once in three years. The only game that East
lost was the one with Sterling. In this game East did not play up to
form until the second half, when we made three touchdowns and had
the ball upon SterEng's three-yard line when the fourth quarter ended.
The final score was East 21, terling 26.

East met Manual on Thanksgiving morning to play the last
game of the season. There was a good, enthusiastic crowd. Aside
from the field's being rather muddy it was a splendid football day.
Both teams were in good shape and they played very evenly during
the entire game. In the first quarter Manual tried a Princeton from
the field, but failed to make it. During the second quarter Manual
used several foxy formations, but didn't batHe East in the least. They
attempted their fancy shift formation three times. The first and second times they made but very little, and lost about fifteen yards the
third time. East had the ball on Manual's three-yard line and two
downs to make goal. The crowd nearly went wild with excitementManual with fear, and East with joy and hope. But at this point
the tir.1e-keepers, getting a little worried, called the first half. Thi
meant that when the play started again there would be a kick-off.
East lost heart, but the team kept a "stiff upper lip." East sent up
a balloon as an offering to the goddess Fortune, but it is to be suppo ed she never received it, because instead of having her guidance
we were followed by her unwelcome daughter, Miss Fortune. The
third quarter was eventless. East held her own and played very
well. In the fourth quarter Manual managed to get the ball on
East's five-yard line with a couple of downs to put it over. (But,

luckily for them, time was not called a nd they made a touchdown
around our right end . ) They kicked goa l, making the core 6 to 0
m their favor. Manu al k:cked to E ast, but there was only a short
time left to play, and although East played splendidly, the game wa
soon called.
The line-up of East's team was a follows:

game and seldom missed her basket. Our guards were both new,
but did exceptionally well. Mildred hotwell was always in her
place beside her forward, while Rosa Meyers always played a very
consistent game. As second center, no one could outplay Lillian
Waldorf. Alma Keehn, the captain, was the jumping center. Although Lottie Finn was not on the team, she was manager, and a very
good one. Goldie Latenser was a "sub" and played either forward
or guard equally well. Georgia Wyse also made a good guard.
Ollie pinner and Gertrude ooper were excellent forwards.
Our mettle was first tried in the Ashland game. The resultant
score-38 to 1 7 in our favor-added to our enthusiasm, preparing
us for our next victory over the D. U. girls, the score being 31 to 26.
Again we played Ashland, defeating them by the score of 19 to 14.
Our next victory was at Littleton, where we defeated Littleton High
School girls. This was, without doubt, the best game we played, and
it marked the first defeat the Littleton girls ever witnessed on their
own floor. Then we played W. D. H. S. and won from them by a
score of 33 to 28. One dark and dreary night the team ventured to

Although East did not turn out a champion hip team this year,
yet it had one which we hope was a credit to the school. Nearly all
of last year's men were seniors, so were no longer with us. Bromfield was the exception. When we learned, however, that he was not
able to play, even Kester's smile wore off.
otwithstanding our raw material, we soon had a team which,
with more experience, might have proved a strong one. In the first
two games of the season we were weak on our shooting, but in the
last two we played better ball and lost to orth Denver by one point,
in the fastest game of the season.
Jenness, Ladd, and Keezer played the guard positions well,
while Wells and Brown played forwards.
Although the season was not a success from the standpoint of
winning games, yet exp rience was gained by players who will be
with us next year.

The spring of 191 2 saw East Denver come back into her own
by winning the annual city track meet. We were fortunate in having a squad that had "lived" with us for four years, and had, during
that time, profited by training and experience until they had reached
the championship class. From another viewpoint, however, it proved
a great misfortune, for every point-winner of last year's team was
graduated, leaving the squad of this year without a veteran for captain. The members of last year's team were, with the exception of
Peterson, Bowhay and Deeds, in fine fettle the day of the meet, and
made records of which the school may well feel proud.
Bradley was the individual point-winner, taking the I 00-yard
by a margin of 8 yards, the 220-yard dash by an easy lead, the
high jump at 5 feet 6 inches, in perfect form, and maintaining the
lead in the final leg of the half-mile relay. Bradley's time--caught
by all three watches-of I 0 seconds in the century event, broke all
previous city records and tied the state record.
Nelson did fine work in the hurdle events, winning the high,
and taking second in the low. Bob ran his hurdle in the best form
een last season and, due to his excellent condition, set a city record
in the 120-yard event.
Peterson ran a very pretty 440, contesting every step of the way
with Kranich of Manual, and finishing but a few inches behind him.
Considering that this was Pete's first 440, and that he was not in the
best of condition, his work was remarkable. He took a place, also,
in the discus throw.
Mathew took first place in the discus with a throw slightly und ~ r
Johnson of North had been expected to win this event,
but was much off form and pulled only a second place.

I 00 feet.

Captain Sewell annexed his event, the vault, with his cu tomary
ease and grace, at I 0 feet 7 inches, but, due to fatigue, just missed
his "try" for a record at I 0 feet 9 inche .

Bowhay, though not recovered from a severe cold contracted
at the time of the indoor meet at the tadium, was a poi01t-winner
for us in the 440.
"Dutch" Richter was able to spread himself over enough
ground in the broad jump to secure third place and one point for his
school.
It looked for a while as if all these single points were going to
be needed, North and East running neck and neck up to within a few
events of the last, the relay. Prettier running has seldom been witne sed in our city relay event. Parker, who ran second man on our
team, entering with a handicap of fourth place for his team, picked
up one place, touching off Pete in third place. Pete ran his best
race of the day on the third leg of the relay, passing the two men
ahead of him and giving Bradley a five-yard lead which he maintained to the end.
All in all, the 1912 meet was one of the best ever conducted by
the city High chools- well managed, and run off in chedule time.
Of cour e, it was a success from our point of view.
The indoor meet, held at the Auditorium, March I , was in the
nature of a try-out to judge the caliber of the material, out of which
will have to be developed the team which will represent East in
pring Track. judging by the howing made, we will be weak in
the sprints and jumps, although so far as giving a correct basis for
judging the sprints the meet was a farce, the men who were built
close to the ground being the only ones who could, with any degree
of success, negotiate the corners.
:x of our men placed, Brown
taking the 1,120, Jenness the 640, Jones getting third in the 120,
Lindenbaum third in the 640, and Howry and Holland second and
third, respectively, in the 320. These six elected Howry as captain
of track for this year, and under his leadership we will turn out a
team which will be a credit to East, though maybe not a champion.

of a few years we hope that it will have as large a following as

An unusually large number of girls turned out in the fall for
tennis. The courts used were on Tenth and Pearl, and they were
in fine condition. Those who played did not go in for the mere
object of winning, but for the sport and fine exercise derived from
the game.
As Addie Cronan had won the girls' championship for '1 0

Hazel Messenger won the singles, defeating Gertrude Cooper

I had been trying hard to finish an expenment in physics, to test
the law of the length of the simple pendulum. I had worked through
two periods at school without success.
When I got home I fixed up a pendulum and went to work
again. I swung this pendulum to and fro and counted the vibrations,
holding a watch in my hand and marking the seconds. I figured and
reckoned, but each result seemed worse than the last one. At length
I gave up in despair and went to bed.
uddenly great brass balls began to swing through the air from
all directions, coming nearer and nearer my poor, throbbing head.
I looked to see what force was swinging these mighty pendulums so
cruelly. I saw all around the room mammoth watches, their face
grinning fiendishly, their great hands outstretched pushing the heavy
balls straight toward me.

The watches, instead of ticking, were crying out, "Count, count!
Find the square root of the length! Time of one vibration!"
Sometimes the great hands of a watch clutched my throat, and
the hideous faces yelled, "Multiply, multiply!"
ow and then a
rope holding one of the great balls broke. I held my breath, expecting my life to be crushed out, then one of the great watch hands
would catch the ball just in time, as if it enjoyed prolonging my
agony.
At last all the faces began to shout together, "She's too slow!
Hit her harder!" I shrieked and woke. My alarm clock was
ringing, and for the first time in my life I was glad to get up.
I went to school resolved to finish that experiment before another night. I worked hard, and 0 bliss! my work was accepted
and that night I lept in peace.

A I lay in the light of the moonbeams,
With the cool breeze on my brow,
I pondered grave thoughts of the universe
Of the When, and the Why, and the How.
But when I awoke in the morning,
And the sun shone so brightly without;
I abandoned my serious musings,
And was glad of the things round about.

��1SrrnllrrtiUl1!i nf Ul1 (@{~ Q)ra~
I approach my subject with hesitation-as your editor, who ha
been prodding me up for a month, well knows- and with timidity .
It is hard to set down on paper the hopes and aspirations of
those old days twenty year ago; hard to expre s the thousand little
flavors of school life, from the cleaning of our cadet rilles on the
California treet coping to the agony and glory of a competition for
the Woodbury medal; hard to frame words to convey to another the
dear old musty smell of the school room.
So, members of 1913, I shall address myself to you . You may
understand what I would like to say, though I realize that things are
somewhat different now. And though in your sympathy you may
understand me, I feel as timid as if I were passing a note to the girl
across the aisle- not on account, believe me, of what Mr. Barrett
might say, but on account of what she might say. And yet there is
a kind of hazard and excitement about this undertaking that fires the
spirit. Methinks I hear again those inspiring lines-

bonds ; and many of u are merely the husbands and wives of the
same old sweethearts with whom we used to promenade the checkered
floor of the lower hall.
Oh, those four-minute promenades!
I hall not attempt to
describe them. They simply must have been experienced to be
understood.
Those were the days when we didn't have dress suits, automobiles and fraternities, but we did have the rival literary ocieties, the
class socials and the prize debates, "no part of which could be committed to writing." Do you have better times now than we had at
the Q. E. D . lub? Do you have more heart-burnings than we did
in the days when Sergeant - - - - threshed a civilian rival in a
bloody five-round m=ll back of the billboards on Twentieth Street?
Do you have more politics than we had during the light between the
old "Triumvirate" and the "Gang Smashers," when the latter were
themselves finally smashed by the power of the Machine after four
special elections in two weeks in the old Lyceum? Well, if you do,
you have to go some.
The Lyceum and Attic societies-! put the Lyceum first because I had the honor of being made its president after a contested
election and a recount of votes-were the principal social and intellectual activities of the good old days. One-half of the members of the fourth class-I believe you call it the Freshman class
nowadays-were eligible to each society, the Attic being entitled to
the first and the Lyceum to the next, in alphabetical order, and so on
througl:out the list. For political- and personal-reasons it so met" mes became necessary for the presidents of the two societies to agree
on a little accidental transposition of names, and this was not always
easy to effect. (The president of the Attic society was a very good
friend of mine.)

"Hold the ball, Bartels is coming,
Niblock signals still;
Tommy Woods goes through the center,
Win we must and will!"
So now the ball is in play, and the first play is to tell you in confidence that all of our real fame was won in school. You will soon
be absorbed into the general conglomerate mass of the alumni, and
will lose the distinctions you now possess. Our old dashing fullback
is now merely a successful hardware dealer; the prize debater of the
Attic Society sells lumber; the captain of Company A has degenerated
into a corporation lawyer; one who kept the whole school keyed up
to a state of healthy activity by his clandestine and unlawful enterprises has fallen to the purely legitimate business of selling irrigation

�I might in these remm1scences say a word about the cadetsthey were our glory and pride, and the annual encampment was the
event of the year, especially Visitor's Day, when a popular officer
would often receive as many as a dozen cakes from feminine admirers. It used to be the practice of some privates to see how many
of these cakes they could steal. I know one who was ducked three
time to his neck in the muddy waters of the Platte for this offense
by a competent committee of officers.

Each society had an editor and an editress, of the Attic Sun
and the Lyceum tar, respectively, which publications were read aloud
at all meetings. Meetings in my day were held in the evening, and
tl:ere wa an unwritten law that the president hould always escort
tre ecretary and the editor the editress. In orne notable instance
thi team work has continued to the pre ent day. This escort duty
made the e offices quite de irable, but necessitated a clo e party orpnization to the end that "the right people" should be elected to the
corresponding offices.

Personally, I never attained any higher rank in the cadets than
that of private, but I can say that the training was good in every
respect.

Of cour~e. there were orne outlaws in each society. For inlance, when the societies put on a joint play-the chool scene from
icholas Nickleby-at a Chri tmas entertainment, one "Baron"
W-t-ky, one L-w W-r-ky, and one R-Ia W-1-n,
whose names I will not mention, greatly enhanced the verisimilitude
of the production by heavily loading with red pepper the bowl of
"treacle" which Mrs. Squeers ladled out to the class of boys-

I suppose you still have the class socials, straw rides, etc. In
my day the girls so far outnumbered the boys that it was quite an
engineering problem to get them all to the various festivities. I remember that once a chap named Price and myself hired an express
wagon, put boards across it for seats, and took eleven girls to a Senior
class social at Hartly Clark's house. Later we adopted the expedient
of drawing lots, each boy drawing two girls. Here, also, the element
of chance was to a certain extent eliminated-when you knew how
to do it-but there was the certainty that there would be two girls.
I don't remember that there was much objection to this arrangement
from the boys, for although the girls would sometimes live in widely
different parts of town, there was always one who could be taken
home last. I remember one night when we went out to Gene Sayer's
place near Arvada for a straw ride on a night which turned very
rainy, and of the two girls whom I was conducting one lived at Fifth
and Logan and the other at Thirty-first and Williams-but, mind
_you, I am not telling which one I look home last. This system was
finally broken down, however, because for some unaccountable reason
the girls did not seem to like it, and we were left to the principle of
natural selection. It was after this that Dad White's horse dropped

quorum magna pars fui.
There were other societie , too, of an entirely unofficial sort.
For instance, the "I. 0. D.", the publicly mentioned name of which
was "Imps of Darkness." My oath as an initiate forbids me to
disclose its real name, nature or objects. Possibly it and similar organizations were the logical forerunners of the modern societies,
though for the sake of the latter I hope not.
orne of the ceremonie
and pass-words of the I. 0. D., however, gradually leaked out.
For instance, if you happened to be visiting a geometry class and
found that the boy demonstrating the problem on the blackboard invariably lettered his figure with the initials, or better, with the letters
comprising the full name of the teacher, you would know that he was
a member of the Independent Order of-there, I nearly let it out!
I will say, however, that it was a cardinal principle of the I. 0. D.'s
always to remain within the letter of the law.
142

�(who, to be sure, is now across the hall) ; Mr. Barrett, who did
his first Colorado teaching in our student days in the old E. D. H. S .•
and whom you will learn to love as much as we do as the years go
by; Mr. Garvin, Mr. Cannon- -Oh! I must tell you how Mr.
annon once conceived the idea of tying the class together by a rope
when he was on a geologizing trip, and how, as he was lecturing
peacefully along, he suddenly turned and found that he was drawing,
not the class, but a fifty-pound boulder. And I might mention, also,
how the whole building was filled one day with the howling of dogs
and the meowing of cats, brought there in response to an advertisement inserted (on their own responsibility) by two young ladies of
Mr. annon's class, who didn't want to see the cau e of science suffer
for lack of demonstrating material.
The ladies who were on the faculty then, and who are still with
you, might object to my mentioning their names- I've been making
myself out such an old, old grad-but we know them, and we know
that they will become as dear to you as they are now and always will
be to us.
And now, Class of 1913, with the close of the school year we
give you a hearty welcome into the great class of the alumni. May
the olci school always be as proud of you as you are sure to be of it.

Annual of Ea t Denver High chool,
Denver, olorado.
DEAR IR :- In contributing the enclo ed selection for your
Annual, I feel that time ha effaced much of the tone and good humor
which surrounded the election. Fond memory of tho e around whom
this little narrative was centered alon will bring back recollections
of pa t a ociation , and the true appreciation of the election.
The selection wa written by Lieut. Herbert F. Lafferty, the
gallant soldier of the 7th U. . Infantry, who gave his life during
the panish-American war in uba, and by William Y. Hodges,
now a prominent attorney of Denver, and wa recited by Mi Jes ie
Izett (now Mrs. Hugh Ford, a prominent actre s,) at a public meeting of the Att:c Literary ociety of the Ea t Denver High chool, in
1894.
While the authors might justly be censured for violating the
ethics regarding confidential communication , the true facts are about
as related, and th words which it i alleged were o affectionately
spoken on that eventful night led t~ the marriage of the parties who
were innocently the subject of the election. They have, as the
good old tory goe , "lived happily together ever after."

ot long ago, on a windy night,
lass '94, o merry and bright,
Were given a social by a pta in White.
The lads and Ia ies, with mirth galore,
Had arrived by nine, if not before,
The happy host had cleared the floor,
nd the gue ts had begun to dance.

II.
A merrier party has ne'er been seen,
Or never will be again, I ween,
Than that which cheered the night, e'en
Till after the dance had done
And the day before its race had run,
nd the envious clock had struck full one,
And the dancers begun to leave.

The victim wa the "bonny bay mare," which surrendered her
life in so worthy a cau e, and to which an epitaph more generou
than the one suggested in the article ~hould be written.
I am glad to contribute this article for your publication, as it
brings back many delightful memories of old friends and happy
school days, and I hope it will do the same for tho e who may chance
to recall the incident.
Yours very truly,

You don't understand, I have some fear.

If I harness thr little mare."

With a "Click! click! Get up, ell!"

be pointed to with anything but pride.
May I say a few words about clas reunions? It has been my
privilege to attend everal, and I have, in every case, felt that all
who attended them have not only spent most happy hours, but have
received help and inspiration, have gone forth with a greater love for
classmates and school and a desire to be still more a credit to both.

191 3 Annual:
To the Editors of the E. D. H.
DEAR FRIE os :-Anyone who is in any way connected with
E. D. H. S. mu t allow me to call him "friend," whether we be
personally acquainted or not.
My interest in the school has not lessened, though several years
have gone past since I left the corps of teachers.
You have kindly asked me to write something for you-"something which may intere t both your class and former classes."
In watching the school, from a distance, so to speak, I have
noticed some things. You have a much larger school than we had
in '97, having increased in number from about 700 to 1,500. You
have different problems to solve, are living in a much larger city,
where conditions have greatly changed, but I still find the same
loyalty and earnestness, the same high ideals and high moral tone,
which marked the school in the old days between '75 and '97. You
have more advantages of some kinds but less of other than my old
"boys and girls," so you go out into life about equally well equipped
to fight its battles.
In looking over the list of graduates published in '98-names
of men and women whom I knew and still know so well-1 find
some in each class who stand out from the others on account of their
remarkable success. These people are often mentioned with prideand rightly so-because of the fine things they have accomplished.
I believe, however, that the record of tho e who are not so well
known is quite as remarkable. There are heavy burdens, bravely
borne, monotonous tasks faithfully performed, homes made bright and
happy by those who have no greater reward than that which comes
with duty well done; surely these men and women who are playing
these humbler parts are a fine asset for a city or nation. It is one of

The classes of '80 and '92 have had reunions about every five
years since their graduation; '77 has had several, '91 and 1910 have
had one or two. Perhaps these classes are no more loyal than the
others, but they have had a kind of pleasure and satisfaction which
the others have missed. Surely the effort required to get members of
a class together, to learn, through letters, of the doings of those who
are living at a distance, is more than repaid by the pleasure and inspiration that come from meeting and hearing from old friends.
Should there be any doubt about this, just try one class reunion and
mark the result!
In order to give the class of '13 a bit of early school history,
and to recall to some of the earlier classes familiar incidents, I grant
your request to print in your Annual the Memories of the Class of
'80, which I wrote for and read at the dinner given Governor Ammons by his classmates last January.
My greeting to every member of every other class is as sincere
as that I gave the class of '80.
•'May God keep you all and bless you."
Sincerely yours,

Nannie 0. S. Dodge.

In the early days, the 70's,
Here in Denver, Colorado,
Where the sun shines ever brightly,
Was a High School wisely foundedAaron Cove and James H. Baker,
Helped by two asSIStant school marms,
Guided Denver's youth, ambitious.
In this High School. young but sturdy,
Were not many pupils ready
For the work required in High Schools,
For the town was small, though hopeful.
So the large first grade was added
To the older, wi er pupils,
Filling thus the empty benches.
This ambitious clas - first gradersTook its place with other classes,
Felt itself as strong and able
As the Sophomores or the Junior Did its work and kept things lively.
When it came to fun and mischief
This first grade was always readyNed and Louis, "Little Vickers,"
Helen, Kate and jolly Lizzie
Kept the earne t teachers busy.
As these boys and girls grew older
They were known as Fourth Class, Third
Class,

Joined the famed Lyceum, gladlyFeared not any class above them,
Thought themselves the peers of any.
In tho-e days this young Lyceum
Was the pride of Denver parents,
Who repaired in crowds, to listen
To the fine debates there given.
Rob teele and John Hipp debated
On the still vexed temperance question.
Louis played his fiddle finelyThe quartette, with George and Ammons,
ed and Charlie, thrilled its hearers.
And when came the time for busines •
Up ro e Ammons, with a booklet,
Robert ' "Rules of Order" called.
Quickly rose to "Point of Order"
And was never quite contented
Till the "Chair" said, " 'Tis well taken."
Oh! the wonderful Prize Readings!
Prize debate , so strong and able.
Julia's clear voice crying, "Bells, Bells."
Helen's "Curfew hall ot Ring," too,
How the audience applauded!
From first grade to worthy Seniors
These bright boys and girls pa sed gladly,
And when five good years were ended
Came a day in June of '80,
When this class-a full two dozen147

tood before a crowd admiring.
Each one read or spoke most gravely,
Telling all the wisdom treasured
In these years of fun and study.
Each received the rolled diploma,
Tied with red and white, most neatly,
Felt that school days now were ended,
And took up his life-work bravely.
Life was simple, earnest, hopeful,
In the young state Colorado.
Girls became respected teachersBoys worked hard on ranch, at mining,
orne in town, in shop, or office,
orne were known as politicians,
Lawyers some- orne happy mothersBut the fine class spirit ever
Was a bond of happy union,
Which bound each to all the others,
And united men and women
Who were boys and girls in '80.
As the years passed swiftly onwardEach showed still the traits which marked him
In the care-free, happy school days.
Louis still loved dogs and musicMade a name in business circles.
John Hipp ne'er forgot intemperance.
Charlie gave great care to mining-

�But could sing as well as ever.
In the great state legi lature
Ammons rose to "Point of Order"arried still his valued booklet.
Had old "Roberts" ever-ready.
Helen used the same discretion
On the School Board as when pupil.
Emily showed skill with p neil.
Celia showed her fine good judgment
Helping the state superintendent.
Eva, Alice, Libbie, Annie,
Taught as well as they had studied.
Lizzie, Julia, Kate and Lena,

Martha, strong, became a doctor.
Each most earnest in his life-work.

Fannie, Mary, Ned, Luella,

To a fuller life and better,
And were mourned by loving classmates.

And tonight again we gather,

Loyalty and love unfailing,
Which began in five and seventy

And the girl who tried to teach you

But she thanks you for your kindness,
For the love you've always shown herAnd on this auspicious evening
Your old teacher brings her greeting,

My first glimpse of the interior of East Denver High School
was like that of many another pupil- it was "Bill's" office.
"Bill" advisedly and respectfully.

Mr. Smiley, the then principal,

and affection.

At any rate, they had their proper effect upon me.

BY POLLY PRY.

When two young gentlemen from the East Denver High School
came and asked me to write something about the distinguished graduates of that seat of learning, and furnished me with a long list of
our first citizens, in proof of what the old school has done in the
way of turning out successful people, I glibly promised them a story,
thinking to myself that I could get my material from the first elderly
graduate I met-butHave you ever undertaken to interview a man in regard to his
school days? Asked him to give you the names of his classmates,
and something of their characteristics?
No l Well, that is what I undertook to do. The results would
have been amusing if they had not been so disappointing.
Out of a dozen distinguished gentlemen with whom I talked on
the East Denver High School and its Alumni, just one turned easily
towards the past, just one, and he was not a graduate-Fate having
willed that he should leave school a few months before he had won
the much-prized diploma- but that one had memory, humor and a
gift for observation-three great and very rare gifts. The eleven
others lifted troubled eyes to mine and confessed that they had not
thought of their school days for so long that they could not even
remember the names of more than two or three of their classmates.
As for their teachers-"Oh, yes!" said a successful lawyer, with enthusiasm, "there
was 'Jimmy' Baker, he was all right!"
"You mean Dr. James Baker of the State University?" I
asked.
"Yes," he said, smiling delightedly over his wonderful feat of
memory. "Only we always called him 'Jimmy' among ourselves."
"You liked him? He was popular with the pupils?"
"No," he answered, "I believe we thought we hated him! He
was very strict. But he's a fine man, made good, you know, and
all that!"

"Oh!" I murmured, vaguely-thinking of Dr. Baker, and the
long years he has given to the cultivation of such limited minds as
the one before me.
"Yes, and there is Ed Costigan- he's another man I remember; he was in a junior class."
"What was he like?" I asked, hopefully.
"Well," he answered, blankly, "he is a lawyer; ran for governor last year, you remember?"
"Yes, but at school- what about him?"
"Oh, he was all right. He has done mighty well, but you
know all about him!"
Then I went my way, from lawyer to banker, banker to business
man-always the same story.
"Yes, I graduated in- - ! I--oh, I was like every other
fool boy! There is only one kind! Thought I knew it all! My
class? Let me see; I hardly remember who was in it- umph! Oh,
yes! There was AI Sechrist, you know! Of the Albert Sechrist
Company-he's made a pile of money-got an immense business!
What do you think of sending electric chandeliers from Denver to
Australia?" triumphantly- "that' s what he is doing!"
"I know! Very interesting! But what sort of a boy was
he?"
"Good fellow! Fine! Oh, he's straight business!"
And, sighing deeply, I rose and went my way again. Why
waste time on men sans imagination and memory? Then I found
the "near" graduate, and, although a line of people gathered outside
the glass doors of his private office, busy people, who glowered darkly
at me, I stayed and stayed, while he talked of old Denver, and the
East Denver High, and the boys and girls who have come proudly
down the wide stone steps, bearing their hard-won rolls of parchment, and gone smilingly out into the world to make history for Denver and Colorado. Boys and girls the very mention of whom brought
a twinkle to his eyes and a smile to his lips.

�"I?
o, I didn't graduate- jut a near- that's all! Always
been sorry, but it couldn't be helped. Remember the boys of my
clas ? Well, rather, and the boys and girls of many other clas es.
I'm a native son of Denver. I've seen her grow from a bit of a
village to the m tropoli of today- so I ought to remember the
boy.
"Let me e that li t," he said, reaching for it, and glancing
down the page he poke of each one with an air of kindly humor
and tender remembrance, as one speak of what he ha loved and
laughed over and with .
"This is only a handful," he said. "There are hundreds of
them. However, here is Elias," placing his finger on the name of
E. M. Ammon with a half-laugh. "Funny, but he looked just as
he does now th irty years ago--only more o. The weight of the
world has always rested on his thin shoulders- but nobody ever
heard a complaint out of him . He was working his way through
school; one of his munificently paid jobs was that of city lamplighter,
for which he received the large sum of $4.00 a month. I always
think of him with his hort ladder over his shoulder, hurrying through
the treet from lamp to lamp. If, after he was through, the moon
happened to come out, it wa hi duty to go back and put the lights
out. Any other boy could have been counted on to forget that part
of his in truction , but not Elia , who is so constituted that he could
not do a dishonest or untruthful thing if he tried. Work! There
never was such a hard-working proposition. He was alway interested in politics. I remember that the tariff was then, a now, the
burning political question, and Ammons was hot on its trail. I used
to think, when he was well launched on his hobby, that I would
like to be one of the judges, in order that I might give him the laurel
crown, but many a time I have al o wished I wa a policeman long
enough to break up the meeting and stop his How of language. My!
but he could talk. Frivolity!
o, he worked too hard. He never
found time for ports, but he was and is a good fellow. I'm glad
he is governor, but I would be a lot better plea ed if I saw him
getting a little fun out of life!"

"Don't worry about that, " I said lightly. "There are people
who laugh internally. The governor may be one of them."
"I hadn't thought of that," he said, then chuckling, as his
finger touched the name of harles A . tokes of the law firm of
Stokes &amp; herman . " 'Renzie' tokes, a funny little. Rube, with
hay-colored hair and freckl es, who was great on orating."
He
leaned back and laughed heart!ly. " 'Renzie' had a great memory,
but the most unique idea of punctuation ; this was one of his rare
gems.
" 'Cf! ar entered on hi head,
A crown on his feet!
andals!'
Could you beat it! Another one, which I no long r recall, was a
recitation about Rienzi, the Roman, but it was funny enough to
earn for him the obriquet of 'Renzie,' which still sticks, withal," he
added, smilingly. "He was a fine, studious boy, who was popular
with the fellows, and who ha made a name for himself in his chosen
profession .
"T. W. Bartels, Louis Bartels, and Frank Bi ho
there's a
bunch for you," he said, genially. "T. W., or 'Dutchy,' as we
called him, Frank, or 'Monk' Bi hop and Louie Bartel , the three
best runners of their day, as mi chievous, rattle-pated, quick-witted a
trio as you'd find in a ten days' journey. Yes, they all graduated
with honor , and they have each one made good in the world of
finance.
"Frederick W . tandart- a beautiful boy- in fact, I think he
wa the prettiest boy I ever saw. I remember that I ecretly envied
him his red cheeks, fine eyes, dark hair and general good looks, only
in those day I would have been ashamed to admit it. A petted
darling!
ot a bit of it- an all around good fellow, as he is yet.
"Earl M . ranston- hasn't changed an iota except to grow
older. One of the best ever- sound as a diamond, not a Haw in him.
"Frank L. Woodward, one of the good boys! Never played
hooky, or went swimming, or to my recollection did anything he ought
not to have done; a student, popular with the teacher and," with
a smile, "the girls."

�"Frank Edward Cove-there's a bird! Got a manner like a
fretful porcupine and a shell like an armadillo, but if you once got
inside, you found a kindly, thoughtful and altogether lovable naturebut, c•h, so deadly serious. I remember I uSf'd to wonder whether
it actually hurt him, a much as it seemed to, to mile. He gradurvey ervice,
uated with honors from Dartmouth, entered the U.
later studied law, and is today a member of the firm of Yeaman &amp;
Cove and president of the Denver University lub."
"Irving Hale-a remarkable youth and a great man. The be t
all around fellow ever turned out by the East Denver High chool.
First in his studies and first in athletics, he was what might be called
the model American.
old, silent, undemon trative, he was yet able
to win and hold the admiration and respect of everybody with whom
he came in contact. He graduated from West Point at the head of
a large class with the highest percentage ever won by any man at
that eminent school. Afterwards he refused an appointment in the
U. S. service to accept one with the General Electric Company, with
which he is still connected. During our late unpleasantness with
pain, in I 898, when competent officers were in demand, the men of
the First olo. Reg. unanimously tendered him the office of commanding colonel, which he accepted, later winning high honors for himself
and his command. Moreover, he won the love and trust of every man
under him, from chief officer to youngest private. The record of the
I st Colorado in the Philippines is one of which we may all feel proud,
and of that little band of Coloradoans almost every officer and many
of the me s had finished their public school course at Ea t Denver
High. It was while in the Philippines that Col. Hale won his title
of brigadier-general.
"Willis V. Elliott-one of our best! A curly-haired, happygo-lucky boy, who seemed to learn by a process of intuition. Frank,
fearles and honest!
"Frank W. F rueauff-a little, red-headed chap, who studied
hard, played hard, and got everything out of life that wa coming
to him-still living up to that principle.
"Samuel W. Belford-languid, Titian-haired 'Sammy,' who
united a placid temperament and a romantic soul with an active,

keenly intelligent mind. He was one of the officers who went out
to the Philippines with the I st olo., and is today one of the foremost attorneys in evada."
Then, glanc;ng out to where a group of people awaited him,
Mr. George E. irr.onton, the "near" graduate, rose, saying:
"And ' ammy' married pretty, v1vacious Helen Thomas, who
graduated in his clas . There was al o sweet Kitty G. Shiland, who
married Frank Bishop, and stately Carrie Oatman, who is now Mrs.
W. H. Kistler, and, finest of all, the two most popular and best
beloved teachers of rr.y day, charming Adele M. Overton, now Mrs.
annie 0. mith, the sweet and gracious lady
]. . Brown, and
who is now Mrs. D. . Dodge."
"There are rr.ore here-but they will have to wait for another
tirr.e," he added, as we shook hands, and I carr.e away, grateful for
the courtesy as well as for the information I had received.
And now I have reached the limit of my allotted space and
have aid hardly a word of the lovely girls who have come from this
great chool-the brilliant, talented girls who today preside over
many of the rr.ost delightful homes in Denver- girls who have made
good in art, music, literature, but, most of all, of the girls wto have
or have I mentioned those splenmade good as wives and mothers.
did men and women who have given their vitality, their strength, their
hearts and their talents, to the work of training all these young men
and worr.en who have so much of their live . To them all honor
is due.
To my mind it is not of o much rr.oment as to how much they
have been taught, but how much they remember. Of what use i it
to store the mind with information unless you have first cultivated
sufficient memory for its retention? The rr.o t brilliant educator can
only point out the trail over which all in search of learning mu t
travel. What is seen from that trail is the individual concern of each

boy and girl. No two will ever ee exactly the same view.
will ever see all there is to see, but each and every one may cultivate
both observation and memory, so that they may become an active
and not a passive power, to the end that their years of study may not
have been pa sed in vain.

PEAKING OF PROPORTION.
Adams was convale cing from typhoid fever, and, being very
hungry, was promised a dinner by the doctor the next day. His
hopes ran high. The next day the nurse brought in a spoonful of
tapioca pudding, saying, "Here is your dinner. The doctor says
that everything else you do must be in the same proportion."

The trouble with Robert Donaldson was that he had started
orations on three different subjects and abandoned two of them after
committing them to memory.
Bob made a good start: "Beyond the Alps lies Italy!" he
cried, as he took careful aim with his index finger at the gallery.
"Such were the immortal words of Patrick Henry, as he faced the
astonished gathering and pointed to the throbbing lid of the steaming kettle. If he had turned aside at the crucial moment-if Hannibal had not braved the minions of the English king-the power
and helpfulness of harnessed steam might have been left for the
discoverers of a future age.

FATAL ERROR.
Bob Donaldson- On my way to church I picked up a button
and put it in the same pocket with a quarter.
Bill Hazlett- And you dropped it into the collection plate by
mistake?
Bob- o, doggone it! I put in the quarter!

"But such is the inexorable decree of fate. Hannibal swept
down upon the plains of sunny Italy, the seeds of American independence were deeply rooted, and the steam-engine was given to the
amazed world.

The F re hie seeks the reference room
With serious, earnest look.
New yearnings stir his budding soul,
He longs to read a book.
And thus he asketh for the book
That hath entranced his young affections,
In accents sweet. "Have you'uns got
'A Hundred Choice elections'?"

"If James Hannibal-! should say Patrick Watt- 1 mean
Liberty Henry-had hesitated or looked back, the course of the
empire would have remained unchecked, and history would have been
rewritten."
Then he sat down amid tremendous applause.

THE POOR FRESHMAN.

Harry L.- 1 admire that old plug of a car you sold me. It
hows such admirable self-control.
Dealer (scenting trouble) - What do you mean by that?
Harry L.- Why, a you said when you induced me to buy
it, it can go seventy-five miles an hour, but it won't.

of the Culebra Cut?
Fresh.-Well--er-I never tried it. The Sophs won't let me

NIX ON THE SLANG.

Rustic (seeing water-cart for the first time)-Dang me, Halbert, if these Denver chaps ain't smart! Just look what that feller's
fixed up at the back of his wagon to keep boys from hanging on
behind.

Miss Chase says: "Take it from me, kid, there's no nourishment in slinging this slang stuff. That's a cinch. Slang is all to
the bad. It don't get you anywhere. Forget that Norwegian college professor who says that American slang is the swell talk. He's
trying to put one over on us. Either somebody's been handing him
a lemon, or else he's trying to hang something on us. Listen. You
can't make a hit with the tony guys unless you get a little style into
your lingo. The trouble with slang is that it puts your vocabulary
on the blink in a jiffy. And then when you want to have a touch of
high life and throw the lingo, you're in Dutch, see? Do you get
me? Have some class about you and cut it."

Burdette (out hunting in auto, calling to boy plowing in field by
roadside) -Hi, there, sonny, see anything to shoot around here?

You were there, a perfect )111phony of red and white-truly,

�HREE year· ago there entered within the cla sic wall of
East Denwr High ."rhool a band of light hearted and
enthu ia tic boy and ~rirb, who formed the great clas of
1915. Then, we were Freshmen. \\"e were ignorant of highschool way- and manners. .b a consequence, we ,,·ere derided
by our uperior ( ?) . But we grew accu,tomed to our new surroundings and et to work to become \\:hat \\·e now ar •, the be t
lass that ever entered East Denver.
A Fre:-hmen, we learned several new and interesting
thing . l\Iany of us became acquainted with the people who
li,·ed in Greece and Rome. \\'hen we found out that there were
other great people on this earth besides our:- ·lves, some of u:felt Lo grie,·ed that we refu:ed to stud), and worked for monagram imtead. Other · of us desired to gain a knowledge of the
way the Romans talked, . o we studied Latin ("\\'hat fools we
mortal· be~''). \\'e all took Alrrebra, not be ause we wanted to,
but because we had to. The daily . truggle · with it wore u: out,
and, a a re ult, in June we \rere in a fitting ·tate of mind to
welcome vacation.

La~t year we were
ophomore,. A~ we had grown both
mentally and php.ically, we were more re;.pe ted by "the power·
that b ·" (mean in~ the :-enior. ) . \\"h ene,·er teacher:, wanted
advice that could be depended on, they naturally come to u .
But, the gentle reader may a~k why they came to u. e. pe ially.
The an,;wer i,.., becau~ our work in the cla~" room wa" "o good
that the Faculty wer • inLpired with confidence in u . Thi
honor, howe,·er, did not make u · feel boa~tful; in tead, it filled
u with a determination to do . till better.
o, when we learned
that "Gaul as a whole i · divided into thre' part~." we did not
. uccumb to the fear of coming disa ter, but " ailed on," and
eventually landed at our de:-;tination. \\'e abo . tudied mathematic~ that made old Euclid (in) famous
Plane Geometry.
In thi~, a. in everything else we undertook, we came out with
flying color..
in e we de~ired to learn about chivalry, ~orne­
thing which we never knew of before, we were .glad to tudy
Engli:-;h, where we read about the Knight of the Round Table.
Those with peace-loving dispo,..ition.- carefully avoided the warlike hi tory of England.

that their choice was a wi_e one from that . tandpoint. .\ we
ar · a brilliant cla . , and we know it, many of us naturally
wanted to tudy about a man who wa equally ~L· brilliant, and
\\ ho al o knew it, o we took Cicero.

strange to . ay, Tuttle\ wonderful ( ?) end run . failed to

were on the job. Constantly Ea. t'. line ;;mashed through and
all our fdlow. were in the play before outh had a hance to

allowed. ".'rhreib" kicked goal, makin~ the :-;core 7 to 0.
[n spite of all the horrible rumors we had heard about what
::\Ianual would do to us Thanksgiving, the fellow all took heart
and walked awa\' with a "core of 20 to 0. This clo~ed the

Aft r , veral well-played practice game~, th ~eric· , tartcd. In the fir-.;t game,

Jordan, a new player, was tl{c feature of this game. In the next game, with our
old-time rival l\Ianual, the first half end •d with the s or• 15 to 3 in their fayor.
In the ,econd half, however, our team showed it. ability to "come back." \ \"e
work d a su ce ·ful ,hift in which Ilillik r and Ladd did brilliant guarding,
and the forward equally good . hooting, and m, de the score a tie. But through
a lu ky basket by the oppo:ing sid' at th last minute of play, our team met
d feat. The third game of the series, with \\'est , ide, was start d poorly h) our

by the x ellent work of our little forward, "Bud" Kershn r, we su ce ded in
winning the game, thus making the championship a tie hetm~e n • Torth and East.
The hampionship up is to be held one-half year by • orth and the other

the under cla~:-;men. Incidentally, th under cla .. men made a good showing
in the . ' inth and Tenth Grade ~Ieet, making record;; which compare very well
with tho~e of the Big :.\lect. ~lulvahill and Holland were the star for Ea. t,
and Ea~t came out ~econd place in the meet.
In the :-eY ·ral weeks following the • Tin th and Tenth rade ~Iect, everybody trained hard, and worked hard in a way that meant busines ·. Ea~t
competed in three dual meeb; winning from . . Torth and \\'e:-;t, and losing only
to DenYer Cniversitv.
The day of the- city track meet, a larg rowd assembled and witnes. d a
hot contest, and on • to be remembered.
Perry in the hurdles, which i~ about the hardest rae , took fourth place.
:\1. Blake put the :-hot far enough to win another point for our chool.
cott
threw the di~cus with skill, making third pia e and adding two more points
to our score. East, at this point, seemed far behind the rest of the hools, but
.he meet was only ju . t begun as far a East was concerned, and thing now took
a d ·cided jump in favor of th • red and white.
In the HO-yard dash James Holland (Gabby for ·hort), taking the lead
from Kranich of ~Ianual, the winner of la~t year' race, kept it and ro ed
the tape first. Close behind Kranich am Howry and J ennes .
Following the -1--lO ame the mile run. ,\11 th East runners, Brown,

\\'bile Ea~t wa , ,,·inning laurels on the tra k ostello easily took the high

place in the pole vault.
The prettiest event of the day \\·a. the
0 yard run. ~Ierritt and Howry
took the lead , and kept it from ~tart to finish. ~Ierritt broke the record, winning
the race in 2:05. These two runners showed that they worked tog thcr , for
they were not beaten in any race during the sea.on.

HE hamlet of Tech i~ situated lone omely in the hills. To
reach it you must drive for mile through desolate ,crubland over the poore:,t roads imaginable. At last you get
deep into the backhill country, and then a the road sweep
over and down a bare hillside you di.-cover, half hidden in the
folia .ge of the ,·alley, a fe\\ -;cattered farm hou'-'es.
.\fter pa:;-;ing these hou:es the road lead. upward again.
It toils along over boulders and broken rock only to end abruptly
and une\.pe tedly in a muddy barnyard and in front of a man
sitting on the fence ''ohittling. That i. Buck.
Ask any of the villagers about Buck and they will all gi,·e
you the same answer. The village had gone to sleep one night
and had awakened the ne\.t morning to find Buck sitting on the
fence whittling on a tilk. Buck \rith hi small weather-beaten
face, his eye., gray with a yellowish tinge, looking out through
narrow ~lib. Buck with hi . long arms and scrawny hands.
\\' here had he ome from? ~o one knew. \\'hy had he come?
_• o one knew. A few of the old crones of the village had
attempted to que tion him, but they had been unabl to di..;cover
a thing. They did know that every day Buck sat on the fence
and whittled on a stick, whi h never eemed to grow .maHer,
with a knife that newr seemed to be om dull. They did know
that Buck " ·a a mystery too deep for them to solo:e.
A. I jumped out of the wagon in which I had come O\W
from the railroad I . aw Buck for the first time. I .tepped up
to him and said: "Go d-day, Jr.

T

lie rai:- ·d his head a1 : looked at me through the . lit of hi.
eyes, "Howdy, stranger."
"You're right," I said, "I am a. tranger."
". ·ot very often \\·e .ee :trangers round these yere part:.''
"I uppose not," I said, "but I'm here to do a little painting.
.\rti. ts \\ill come to the remote-;t pia es to find .ubject.."
"\\'ell, that's cur·u~. It. trikes me 'sif they ain't nothin' to
paint round yere 'ceptin' a few house. and a lot of mud .. ,
He ~aid this so :eriou:ly that I was forced to laugh. I wa
becoming interested in this man who showed ·uch an obviou
lack of civic pride.
"Could you direct me to a place where I can get board and
lodging?'' I asked.
A-; if he were . uddenly sorry he had :poken to me, he
gruffly ~aid, ". ·o,'' and be~an to \\'hittle again. • ·at another
word could I ~et out of him.
eYeral day!" pas:-;ed. E,·e ry day Buck wa~ on the fence
1\'hittling. All attempts I made to get into conversation with him
failed. I made inquiries about him of the woman who kept
the half , qualid, half picture. que house \\'here I had found lodging.
he knew nothing more than that she thought "Buck wa
je~' a leetle off hi . center. '
I made . eYeral ,.ketche,; of the -;urrounding country.

e,·er made. If you care to drop into my studio you may .ee it.

Bu~icd "ith my painting I proceeded to forget all about the
incident. I did not :-cc Buck during all thi~ time as I usually

I returned one eYcning to find that my landlady had taken

" ood cYening, Doctor.''
"I gues~ you'll haYc to ]caw here."
" \\"hy, what's the matter?"
"Your landlady is down with the typhoid."
"Oh !"I ~aid," i~ it catching?''
" \\'ell, not exactly, hut ;;till I wouldn't a&lt;h· i~c you to ~lay
here.''
''I can't lcaYe my work,'' I ~aid . "How bad is this typhoid
bu-.;ines. ?''
''Four ca"c. so far. \ ll malignant. One died this mornin~." he explained l&gt;riell).
"I hadn't heard."
The doctor leaned toward me.
" I t's rather scriou-.; hu~ines~, and it'. complicated hy a craz ·
that ;.ccm: to haYc gotten in thc'c people's head~. It\ all owr
town. I suppo~c you'yc heard about it?"
".To," I said becoming intcre~ted.
"I don't know ho" to explain it to you," the dodor went
on. ''The talk is about ~ome fool thing that haunts the ;;tream
by the bridge OYer there.
C\ eral daim to haYe :-;c •n it, or rather
they don't ~ee it, they feel it. They say it heat them about the

eye:;, hi~ ~ray ~hirt open at the gnarled neck. Bm k a· I later
came to know him- the un~elfish, the broken hearted Buck.
~ -ot long afterward, di~couragcd by an exec~~ of h •a\')' rain:-;,
I packed up my belongings preparatory to lcaYing Tech.
• ·o ;;ooner done than the ~un came out and I a~ quickly
ch.mgcd my mind. Thu~ it '' ~b b; the mere chan e of a change
in the w •ather that I stayed and become inYoh·cd in th · tragedy

left the road cro~sed a ~mall bridge of plank:. .\ ~trcam wa

As I ~at there smoking I noticed that Buck had gotten off
the rail and wa;. walking down the road toward me.

muttcrin~ to him,clf.
~fon·d by wriosity I ~otto my feet and walked up the road
to look for the cause of this :-;udden and rather unnatural exhibition of shadow boxing. I found nothing and I rcmemb •r that

"\\'hy I saw Buck"- I began.
"Yes, he's got typhoid, but he's nearly well. He had a
wry light case. Yes '' he went on after a slight pause, "that'.
the funny thing about it; without exception, tho~e who !aim they
have actually :-een it are either dead, or ill of typhoid. "\\'ell," he
added as he ro~e to go, "whatever the infernal thing is, it\ doing
nobody any good."
A few weeks passed. Buck was again well enough to be at
his usual place on the rail.
ince his ~ickne.&lt; he had opened
up and :poken to me '-'e\'eral time!'&gt;. He told me exactly what
the doctor had about the "fool notion."
"Yes,'' he said, ''It'" all true 'nuf. I cal'clate 'e~ an eddicated

The doctor had been walking toward us. As he reached the
bridge he stopped, staggered. "It's got me," we heard him
murmur. He reached into his medicine bag, took out a sma11
vial, put it to hi~ lips and . ank forward on his knees dead.
He did this o slowly and quietly, he looked a. if he \\'ere treating himself for some slight pain. \rorn out by the struggle
against a di-.;ease and a craze, actuall y con fronted by a thing,
that as a man of science he had thought "as superstition, he had
taken his own life.

'ursing :-oftly under hi lm·ath, Buck walked over to where
the body lay. I followed. He gazed at it long and ..,teadily.
Finall~· he rai:-ed his eye. and . aid in a &lt;lui,·ering, shaking
voice:

A . hiver seemed to ru .1 through his body, his eyes glowed,
his hand quivered, he pitched forward f-om his chair dead .
At la. t Buck had found re:;t gon to his loved ones; gone to
that place where all are. and woes arc forgotten.

�HE FOR 11 i a debating l'Ocicty, and a continuation of
the enate of last year. The body now number· about
thirty-five young men who aspire to efficiency in public
. peaking. The nature of the society i such that it members
are obliaed to become familiar with all phase&lt;.; of public question::;.
The debate are on live que tion -, political and --ocial, and arc
di cu eel in an intere ting way by the various speakers. Two
Friday even ina of each month arc set asid · for "open" meetings.
1 ecial feature arc added on the ·c o casion. to the usual debate,
u h a an especially prepared addrcs. by the President or some
other member.
Pre ident \\'hitenack, a member of the faculty, has been at
the helm of the Forum'- fortune for two years. ·nder hi careful guidance the society has developed gr~atl). He is a . peaker
of exceptional ability, and is ever ready to help the boys with
his own exten ive knowledge.
The meeting are begun at eight o'clock. After a lu~ty call
rder" and loud pounding of "Hi" Excellency's" gavel, a
to
. ober-faced clerk call the roll and reads the minute-. of the
previou meeting. Thi is followed by the reading of the bill
for the eYening, and war i. at once declared. The d bate
captain open the di . cu. sion, and are followed by the various

T

'cnators (this being the official title), who .peak in the order
in which their name:; appear on the rollcall.
In thi · battle-royal appear many and \'aried contc ·tan b .
There are veterans of many battle and raw recruit!;; the
former i~sue loud defiance · and the latter arc afraid le~t their
arguments be :-ubje ted to sudden bombardment by the old
timer . The din of confli t dies away, and ho~tilitie · are ·u pended to take the vote. The result i. received with loud applau~e hy the victoriou faction. Then a truce is de lar 'ci until
the next meetin" and the members make ready to lea\'e. In this
way the Forum attain. it four-fold purpo. e- a knowledge of
parliamentary proceeding, good-fellowship power to deliver
convincing .peeches, and a general idea of publi question .
Both la!'t year and the present year the Forum has b en
repre::;cnted in the Woodbury and tevens ontests. Three out
of the four who took part in the tevens onte. t were Forum
boys and the one chosen to represent the school was a Forum boy.

eptemb r, 1913, by ~lr. \\'hiteman . It meets C\'ery Friday
afternoon in the .\sscmbly Room, and any boy pa · ·ing that

melodiou. :&gt;train:; \Yhich issue from it. If, \\·ishing to :;ati-;fy hi

and if he ha-.; any \'Oice, hastens up to the director h gging to b a
member. His voite is te..;ted, perhaps approwd of, and he f'ecs

they have developed into excellent singers. That i the rca on

l~pgmalion ann ®alatea

L to engender in the mind::. of certain unfortunate
people a feeling of discontent, but tho~e who failed to
attend the pla) of Pygmalion and Galatea of a truth,
\erily, mil:i~ d a real theatri ·al treat. At no time was there any
danger of ..:uffering from ennui, whatever that is.
For about two hour a large audience of well-pleased people
\\ere taken for a trip down deep into the very heart of chivalrou ·
and romantic Greece, back to those days \vhen the sword wa
mightier than the pen, and the laurel wreath wa a symbol of
::.trength and courage.
•\ t times we were made to quiv r with laughter, the very
:;eats themselves seeming fairly to ooze with glee. Even the light '
went out from shame at their participation in frivolity, and then
of a udd n we were whil:iked to the Isle of arrows.
o it wa ,
we wer abl' to sympathize with and enjoy the experience of a
noted culptor, Pygmalion. He wa. born and bred an 1 -karat
ir Launcelot, and being blessed with a wonderful imagination
immediately pro ceded to worship the idol, made in the image of
hi ' beloved spou!;e. Dame Fortune .hone down upon that
occasion and came to his re. ue by gi,·ing life to the . tatue,
Galatea. The fact that thi::. . ame . tatue later on obligingly left a
large dab of powder on 'hry. o ·boulder, pro\·ed beyond a doubt
that :;he wa · not only a live girl, but a very modern one in the
bargain.
We would never have recognized Edward Hart a Pygmalion
had not that 'give away" dimple, which no amount of paint
could hide, come into view. Love making connected with
Edward wa. not a familiar characteri .tic either, but we afterward. found out that hi . . u cess in this line, without even looking mi erable, wa due to hi. untiring practice and per_everance.
Katherine Kni. ell portrayed
ynisca very well.
Of

ourse we can't blame her for getting angry at her husband for
makinrr love to another \roman, but \\e think she was ju ·t a
teeny Lit hard on him.
\\'e advise l\larian Dudley, who took the part of ~Iyrina ,
to get a patent on her invention for manufacturing tears on short
notice.
aid patent might be u cful in a history or Latin class
when teacher is unu:-;ualh hard- hearted.
Congratulations ar~ clue Hal Booth for his sure aim Ill
hitting that doc. There mu t have been . ome queer animal. m
Greece during tho e days .
As we watched Isabell' Redmond \H' realized we were
gazing at no amateur. But though she made a de idcdly henpecked, abused hu band out of Leonard, still don't we know
that this same young lady delayed rehear!-&gt;al one afternoon just
to sew button on hi · coat?
Leonard Loan, as Chry:-os, was the greatest surprise of all.
In vain we looked for the habitual beery smile of our senior, but

�HE curtain was.· drawn lowly ha k by invi. ihle hand . to
reveal u. treet "cene in Bath. "Well, well," cried a jovial
voice, as a jolly little man rolled up to a proud, ari trocratic-looking fellow 1n :,;carlet livery, "if it i~n't my old friend
Fag. " Fag drew ba k rather offended by the coachman· coarse
manners, but none the le. s he . topped to chat a while. They
talked of London fa~hions in wigs and the like, and of 1Ii.
Lydia Languish and of Captain Anthony Absolute, who had
ju~t come to Bath.
•\nd as they talked we recognized in the
coachman\ gruff tones .·ome resemblan e to Tom Ferri}' voice,
and we knew all the time that the haught) individual could be
none other than 'tanlcy prague.
\\'e were next introduced to ~liss Lydia Langui h, whose
name i: th most fitting des ription I could give of her. Poor
Lydia wa: very melan holy, and with good au e, for had he
not quarrelled with Beverly, her own true love? She wa
roused from these ~ad thought· by the entrance of her pert little
maid Lu y. "0 lud, ma'am," .aid Lu y in a high na al voice
which did not sound like June's, "I had a dreadful time gettina
the. e hooks, ma'am, but here they are, ma'am," and he proceeded to take from under her cloak book. whose title horrified
us. But for the time being Lydia could not read them , for her
aunt, ~Ir~. ~lalaprop, . he of the mi u~ed, mispronounced, badly
con~tru ted words, came sailin~ in.

can judge how good an actre .... he i".
~Irs. ~Ialaprop'. companion,
ir .\nthony Ah~olute, wa.
quite her equal. He was a bluff old gentleman of a very excitable nature. \\'hen his .on Captain Absolute refu~ed to marry
the lady of hi· father'. choice, he :,;wore that his son should
marry whom hi father chose, whether she was a hunchba k or
bald. And again, when 'aptain Absolute bowed to hi . father's
will, hi father be arne furiou::; because after the recital of the
lady' virtues and beautie , he wa unmoved and merely reir
peated: "To do what you wi h, father, i..; all I de ire."
Anthony's laugh wa .. o infectiou~. and his rage o real, that we
all laughed and raged with him. \\'&lt;o have reason to feel proud
of J a per when we arc told that he wa: as good a~ a profe~;.ional.
Captain Absolute, alia Beverly, wa. a gallant lover , a dutiful
~on, and an un rupulou deceiver.
We were a tonished by Donald
ollett a.
1r Lucius
O'Triager, the brave gentleman with the Iri h accent. Indeed,
we were urpri~ed that ~uch an accent could be . o perfectly bred
in a few hart weeks. And there was his friend .-\ere~. a !'Uitor
for Lydia' hand, a gentleman of carefully a quired, blood-curdling oath., who.e . pirit was willing but whose fte~h wa. weak.
\\' all thought that Fred was fine. Tom Ferri I app ·a red again
a· Acre 'valet, and he made an excellent one. Oh, I almost forgot the fair Julia and jealou Faulkland. Julia \\&lt;b Hallie
Dickenson her ·elf, a little more pen~ive, a little more tearful than
usual, and very much in love, though whether that is U!-ual or not
I annat ay. George \\'illi ~on, as Faulkland, a jealous but an
ardent lover, could not disguise him,:elf on account of his hair;

�so all the girh. haYe been wondering whcr he
got ~ide- burn . to match ~o perfectly.
I haw not :-;pace nor eloquence to tell the
plot, the funny happenings, or to rep at the
ridi ulou,., phra;;e;; of good ~Irs. ~Ialaprop.
There were many humorous ;;ituations, many
tearful sn·ne~; but of course they ame out all
right at la-.t, and liwd happily ever after.
From b ginning to end the play wa: interesting and well acted.
The play was given two night., February
13 and H. It wa. long •r than u-.;ual and required more ~n·ner), but thanks to the fine
management of 'yprienna Turcotte and Leo
Barker we came out ahead financially. \\'e do
not forget either the time and work uf ?-.Ir. Pitt,.,
or that ft-r th • pln)cr-;' glory of two nighb they
had spent in many hour" of hard labor. I am
sure that we will alway. look ba k (for we are
nearing the looking-back -.;tagc) with pride and
pleasure to "The Rintl:;," our Congre;-;,.,~Iincn·a play.

thrl'e perfeltly innocent and ::;table lookin~r worm. will
:-o completely alter their habits of existence a to leaYc
the ~pertator in ga.ping astoni.hment. If you don't believe me,
you didn't attend the ~linerva- Forum play, and therefore arc
not worthy to be convinced.
In the words of the daring Engli~h pupil who bold!) a scrtcd
that ~lilton couldn't be improved upon, 1 challenge anyone to
deny that the play given by th • follower. of ~linen·a and the
devotee:. of the Forum :-;o out Shake.~pcared hake:-;peare in re:-pect to literary merit, so out-~lantclled ~lantell in re:-pect to
hi-,trionic ability, and ;.o out-Gabied Gaby in rc.pec t to ticket
receipb a&gt;' to make Peter ~Ic 'ourt feel like ~lanual after the
'1 hank:gi,·in" Game.
The play was not without its instru tive side; one moral in
particular was brought home to the hearts of the audience, to
wit, a man may cruelly maltreat hi· gentle wife, threaten hi
daughter, reduce them both to tears, in fact, terrorize the whole
hou::;ehold by the \\'aspi;.hne::;s of his temper but let him be the
innocent cause of the ruin of his meek :pouse' bonnet and"Oh, wasp, where is thy sting. Oh, man, where i. · thy tyranny!''
In other \YOrd:-, \Yhat is to be ompared with milady\ wrath
when mere man trifle with her finery?
The member. of the cast were excellently hosen; if you
don't beliew me, ask them. \\'hen the jealous curtain, after a
little per ua~ion. was rent as~under, we beheld ur tand By,
"::;he" of the astonishing talent , Our Original of riainal ·yprienna Turcotte. \\'c cannot ay that the role was peculiarly

. uited to her, for she could interpret any role that was ever
written; doubtles · if Bela co a. ked her to star in "The Bird of
Paradise,' ' . he would murmur "I should worry," and make a
:-;ucces. of it. thlrry ~IcC'ambridge , as the butler, wa unapproachable, and who wa there that beheld his dignified and
'aughty bearing that did not think of ~lerry Hen gland?
Our gentle, soft-voiced Henry Cooper took away our breath
by his startling portrayal of husbandly devotion, and we were
duly impre:-. ed by hi· dramatic clutching of the air, not for the
worn-out dagger, but because too much of a good thing hindered
him from clutching anythine; else.
Zilpha arruth r , a the meek, tearful wife, \\"&lt;L a great
succes:. In fact, he ::;heel . o many salty quarb that the platform
wa.· about a. wet a at the time of ~Iinen·a ';; initiation of new

It i;; '' ith the grcatc:-;t of delicacy that I approach the youthful cau~e of all the trouble, or shall I . ay the caw;e of all youthful trouble, in brief, the 10\·c r.. The parts were beautifully taken
by atherine Yan Dcusen and • • oyl Gibbs, anti though • • oyl
didn't . igh like a furnace (for which we were wry thankful bccau"e the auditorium wa. warm) he wa;; in C\'ery other way mo;;t
conmwndable.
The whole play was well gi\'en, and in some part-. extremely
touching, e pe ially in the end where ~Iincn·a ~o forget her:-elf a.

debating wa famous. Athletic did not take the hold of today.
There was a stern devotion to study, and the graduate , wherc,·er met, usually . ay that it paid.
~lay I write a paragraph on debating? I remember the
energy given to debate by a large number of able young m n,

one of them our present Governor and he O\\es much to the
mental power he gained from the practice. In these days of

and express them clearly, forcibly and contidcntly i. of high

thi · instru~tion ha. an important place abo in the high

�&lt;!Earlp J1)fstorp of tbt ~cbool
five regular high chool pupils and an Eighth Grade cla!'s, then
called "First grade." Th r wa no ;;enior lass, the highest, or
Junior las had les than ten member.. This cla .. wa. later
called the " las of '7 7." The las~ of '7 had ahou t the same
number. '79 numbered about twentv-fi\'e. The Cla"s of ''0
had about forty pupils. All thes d~sses were taught by High
chool teacher .
The Ia. of ' 77, when graduated, numbered seven, and
wa th first to re eivc the Diploma of th
chool. Each of its
member. ha. made a record of which the school mav well be
proud. Two have be ome eminent-Robert \\'. teele, ,~·ho, when
he died in 1910, was hief Justice of the upreme Court of
olorado and Irving Hale, class valedictorian, who after making
a remarkable record at West Point, was mad ' General in the
Unit d tat Army during the • pani:;h-American \\'ar.
But five graduated in the Ia s of '7 . lis.· Adella ondit,
alutatorian of the cla:s, is . till a valued teacher in the Cit:
chools.
The la.s of '79 is proud to claim Edwin ::\I. Herr as a
member, although he wa. obliged to leave school and go to
work a few weeks b fore the cla s graduated. He is now president of the \\'e. tinghou .e company, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
The Yaledictorian of this cla was Alice Eastwood, now of
the Academy of Sciences in an Francisco, a botanist of international r putation.
arri Oatman, now ::\Irs. \\" . H. Kistler
of Denver, ('las. alutatorian, wa. on of the fir"t " ·omen to
be elected a memb r of th Ea. t Denver chool Board, and ha,
been remarkable in all th work she has undertaken, whether of
a public or private character.
The Class of ' 0 ha. been e. pe ially proud the pa. t two
vears in that one of its members, Elia. ::\I. Ammon:, has been
Governor of Colorado. ::\Irs. Hel n Brown Jones, who ha. recently done c;uch efficient work on the chool Board, belonged

HE ..;cal of th Board of Edu ation, chool Di trict o.
1, Arapahoe ounty, bear the date 1 74. For many
year. Di. trict ro. 1 comprised Ea t Denver only, and
wa entirely ~epa rate from ~ orth, \\'est and outh Denver
hool Distri ts. In the fall of 1 7+, Aaron Gove b arne uperne of hi fir. t act. wa
intendent of chooL in Distri t • J o. 1.
to take step toward founding the Denver High chool, the
fir:;t high ~chool in town. There were but two chool building
in D nYcr at that time, the old tout ~trcet building near the
~itc of the pre. ent Gilpin chool, and the Arapahoe . treet building, between eventeenth and Eighteenth street!. The Arapahoe
building, robbed of its upola and partly hidden by tall bu inc
block., still . tand .. It was the fir. t home of the new High
hool and the pride of D nver for many years. The High
chool o cupied but half the third floor of the building. The
uperintcndent' office wa~ on the se ond floor, and the remaining room~ wer filled with grade pupib.
The Board of Education wa composed of fine men who
took the keenest intere. t in everything 1 rtaining to the hooL.
::\Ir. P. Gottcsleben, a member of the Board from 1 75 to 1 3,
seemed to know exactly what to do in helping to arrange the
first course of study, in fitting up laboratorie. and in wi.ely
a. i_ting everyone who went to him for ugge tion.. Dr. A.
tedman, ::\Ir. E. ::\I. A. hley, olonel L. . Ellsworth, Dr. F.
teinhauer were all helpful in a marked degree.
In 1 74-'75, James H. Freeman wa Principal of the
High chool. and ::\Ii~s A. ::\I. Overton, now ::\Ir.. J.
Brown,
and ::\I iss Ktelle Freeman were assi. tant..
In the fall
of 1 75 James H. Baker became Prin ipal. :\I iss Overton remained a a!' i. tant and I began my work in the chool. With
so !'mall a teaching force, ach teacher wa obliged to give instruction in . everal bran he .
:\sIr member the .chool in 1 75, it contained about forty-

�to · ~o . ~li~. Emily .\Iile~, Cla~s ' alutatorian, at present upervi~or of Drawing in the City chools, and :\Irs. Celia 0. Peterson , the ~ucce:;,ful pre. ident of the • tate Teachers' . sociation
at it. la~t ~l'~sion, both b ·longl'd to ' 0. Thi cia: · of ' 0 i one
of the few classes that has had frequent class reunion: since
leaving school. These have helped keep alive school loyalty
and class spirit, and have been a pleasure to the class, a well
as a help to the school.

It is . ometimes said that pupils who make a remarkable
record in their studies at :chool are not succe:-sful in their life
work . In watching the bO) s and girl· who graduated between
1 77 and 1899, I find this ha. not been the case. The pupil.
who ranked highest have, in every case, been su cessful in their
clwsen call in g.
In 1 75 the Lyceum wa · founded, the first debating and
literary so iety of the :chool. It: first president was Robert W.
teele, and it. work was ~uccessful in every respect. Its entertainments were of interest to the whole city, parent: attending
ib meeting. in about as large numbers as pupil:. In thi ame
year, Patterson Fisher was active in organizing and drilling
the High chool Cadets. ~lr. R. \\'. Woodbury offered a prize
for declamation and the fir t prize conte t wa held in ~laennerhor Hall. I remember it took every boy in the high chool
cla. se to complete the number who were to speak, fifteen, I
think it was.
In 1 76 the whole of the third floor of the Arapahoe build ing wa. u:ed for the High chool. The chool remained in the
Arapahoe building until 1 .2, when the south wing of the pre ent E. D. H. . wa ready for occupancy. The lower floor wa
arranged as at present with one large tudy room and three
recitation rooms. The laboratories were in the ba. ement. The
second floor was arranged exactly like the first, and for two
year was oc upied by the " on olidated Eighth Grade";
eighth grarle pupih coming from all parts of East Denver.

.\Ir. Baker left the school in I 92 to become Pre:--ident of
'olorado tate University at Boulder. :\Ir .• miley, who had
been teacher of Latin and Greek from :\larch, 1 6, became
Prin ipal when ~lr. Baker left.
The e were happy, useful day , the e day· of beginning .
Denver had about twenty-five thou . and inhabitants and all were
enthusia tic over the High chool and worked unitedly to make
it successful. Politics and a critical :-pirit, which have . ince
unfortunately crept in, had not then entered school affairs. :\Iany
of the pupils, e. pecially the boy. , were obli~ d to do ·ome kind
of work ouLide of ~chool hour., in order to huy boob and clothing to be able to attend . hool. Thi , however, added to, rather
than detracted from their efficiency.
I rem mber well the moving from the old to the new building..Mr. Gove came into the tudy room one Friday at the clo~
of the ession, with his pocket full of , rew driver~. He took
them out and . aid, "Boys, we are going to move into our nc\\
building; you can help u .. Ju t take these screw dri\·ers and
loo~en the
re\\" in each desk.'' Every boy went to work with a
will, and in a few minute there wa · not a de:--k in the room.
The following :\Ionday morning we began work in the new
building.
A I look back to the e day of mall thing ·, I am impre ed
with the fine pirit of co-operation between teacher and pupil
with the whole ome rivalry among pupil and the desire to
make the mo ·t of ea h opportunity- with the endeaYor to be
helpful in eYery way that the . chool might become eminent for
, cholar hip and for all that make. good citizen,. I realize
that all the e influence helped to make strong, , elf-reliant, upright men and women. My hope i that the boy and girl· who
are now enjoying far greater advantage_ in om re pect , may
make citizen equally trong in character, equally upright and
elf-reliant, equally helpful to their fellow men.

The ar jerked
veryone collapsed into his . eat. Amid
:houting and songs, we were off 'eniors, yc. ; but not stately
cniors. I still have visions of Phyllis perched on the brakewheel of the trailer, the pon:sor of th song~ and of Pinkie as
!'he rushed about with the weight of the whole pi nic on her
shoulders. As I looked around me, I saw nothing save smile
and bright faces. Without a doubt, e\·er} enior of East Denver
was happy. l'nder our arms we carried lunches of all size: and
shape::,, in cracker boxes, candy boxes, plain brown wrappers.
The car jerked on. \\'here there was no room to :;it, we stoodwhat mattered? The backs of the s •ats were made comfortable
by donated sweaters and oats. 'o sooner would one song cea ·e
than we would hear, "r ow let's sing: '\\'ho Paid the Rent for
Mrs. Rip \'an Winkle?' " "Oh, no: '\\'here ;..ry Love Lies
Dreaming.'" All of which would be drowned in a wild D! II! !
The car had now almoot reached the foothills. \\'e looked
with expectation at the green ridge ' and brown bt.ttes. With a
last song we swept into Golden. Great hurry and bu;;tle! We
were off for higher realm . Waiting for no other than, "Lo,
Lookout :Mountain,' we almo t ran from Golden aero;;. the \'alley to the funicular railroad of Lookout. \\'ith our. \\'eaters over
our arm , our lunches in our hands, the warm October earth beneath our feet and the blue October ~ky O\'erhead, what more
could we desire? \\'e stepped '' ith a certain amount of awe
into the fragile boat-;;hap d ar whi h was to carry u;; aloft.
We felt insecure.
p-up, we went. Golden be ame a tiny
city and the unlit plain appeared. I drew a deep sigh of relief,
when I stepped once more on ~ure ground. \\' walked along a
wide white road which wound around the mountains. How good
the pine melt, how fresh wa the air we breathed!
ounds of shouting and laughter led us to a clearing where
the re t of the party wa a embled. There on the branche we
nung our hat. and coat . We miled and go iped, concerning

the weather, nosed about the large ba.kets of wienie wur:-.t. and
roll , urveycd .Mr. Pitts, who, coatlc~~. hi ·leeve rolled up,
wa making a blazing fire burn brighter. All wa. anticipation,
for, by this time, we felt the aching void. ::\Ir. Barrett and ~ lr
Reed offered advice, which W&lt;L, of course, ignored by ;..rr. Pith.
I looked at my watch-one-thirty. Hm! the water wasn't e\'Cn
hot.
ome, who were les:- hungry, walked to the top of the ridge
in front of us, or to the small, clear re•ervoir, pond, poeti ally
speaking. At la. t we could eat! In ~quares, circle. , emicircles
and lines, we at down on the brO\\n earth. Pinkie and ~Iitchell
pa sed round the rolls, which were filled by Bruce, who held out
long, hot, lus&lt;.iou ~tring. of wienie . \\'e devoured them without
further delay. The coffee was somewhat tardy, but it wa.· worth
waiting for.
After \\'e had eaten, perhaps, more than was c\pected, we
repaired in groups whither our oeveral desires led. 'ome of us
fled to the reservoir to slake our thirst; some walked up the
farther ridges to gather kinnikinic, with its charming red berries,
and to rejoice in the sunshine and green pine·. Other: ran dO\\n
to a canopied dance hall, ther to whirl to the mu-ic of a small
yictrola and buy white and yellow popcorn from a little house
which tood on the top of the hill. The un fled all too . wiftly
aero the .ky-how loath we were to go! Down the mountain
. ide we went, but not all in the funicular.
ome of u · preferred
to wear out our s11oe leather walking down.
\\'hen the sun ca~t hi. long shadows on the mountain ide,
he did not find u · there; but if he had looked beyond to the
plain. he would have seen us in our car and trailer, tight buttoned in our sweater::,, a the evening air came through the open
window . \\'c were tired and majority foot- ore, but we were
still happy and glad to be alive. \\'e .ang again, but not "\ ho
Paid the Rent," nor "The High o t of Lovin'," but dear, old
ong uch a " weet and Low" and "Annie Laurie." Thus
ended for u all a "perfect day."

''\\'hy, no," an~wcred th • broom, . lowly, "they always ~eem

"And I suppose they are just a. wonderful in their que,;t

"You ::-poke the truth. Ju. t as wonderful," returned Apollo,
"but if I keep talking about tho,;e ophomore:-;, you'll never
tinish your sweLping. I 11 tell you more ome future time. Goodbve."
- And the broom, with an amazed stare, . lowly went away.

yawned comfortably, "It certainly is a relief to change
my position. I've tood all day long, s arccly blinking an eyelash, for fear . omeone would ~ee me. I ecm to be
very conspicuous. Why, hello. Who' that?"
The janitor's broom wept furiou ly up to him and topped
with a little pant. "Whew! I'm tired. All I've done ·ince 2:45

"Did you ~ee it?" a ked the broom sadly. "Of cour e I
didn't, for I was repo ing in the ba ement, and no on told
me anything about it until it wa over."
"Ye ," aid Apollo, miling, ' I . ee everything.. Ah, that
wa a fine party. Of course, I didn't hear the program, for that

"That reminds me," laughed the broom, "I am till finding

Latin §cbool

T • eptunber there appeared at Latin chool, a va t
array of expectant, red- faced fre. hie., just from the hand
of the eighth grade teacher;;. At fir;;t these fre;;hmen appeared to be ext ·ptionally green, but, on the contrary, th ·y were
not as green a~ they looked, for they have turned out to be an
extraordinary class.

L

This ~cason, Latin chool had a remarkably good football
team. '1 he} met and defeated a good many of the be:-;t teams,
of their sibe, in the city. They were th' vi tors over " Ia. t year'
Latin team'' t\\ice, and many of the tram . that happened to be
their vi tims, were om posed of players much larger than tho ·e
of the Latin 't:hool team .
Latin chool has a ba ketball team this year whi h promi~e
to clean up all the ninth grades of the city. They are ent r d
in the league, formed hy the Y. ~I. . A., of all the ninth grade ,
and they have been victorious in mo t of the game .
The fall tenni tournament wa a great ucce . About
twenty were entered for the single. and doubles, and three of
them received the cu:tomary L's.
The enate, despite the numerous interruption that have
occurred this year, ha had a very . u e_ ful
a vn, and the

name · of more than fifty students are on its roll. I will venture
to . ay that ·ome of the dignified enator., who . ecm to deli&lt;rht
in debating on the topic: of the day, will be the future orators
and political "tump" . peaker · of thi · country.
Latin chool wa · not o.1ly u es. ful in athletic~, but it ha
been :ucces. tul along the line of amusements. The play given
by everal of our students this year, in charge of ~Ir. Thomp~on,
was not only a great finanr·ial uccess, but also a big dramatic
hit. Entertainml!nt before .he show, wa. provided by the Girls'
horu and the Latin chool Or hestra. By .h..: way, the
orche tra, under the excellent supervision of ::\Ir. Thompson ha
become a very notable group of musi ian .
ITO\\' come February, and with it such a bun h of freckled ,
wild-eyed Freshmen! They came in warms, and for the first
week, got in the wrong room ·, . tudi d the wrong hour, spent
half a day looking for th·' elevator, and got into numberles~
other scrapes that fall to the lot of the ambitiou. Fre hman.
However, the chool mu t tolerate the e Freshmen, for ome day ,
th y will become Junior and enior · ( ?) , and will then be the
main tay of the chool in athl tic. , oratory, and in the other
field . of competitiOn.

T

liE member: of Elmwood chool, one of the large t
schools in the town of Winton, w •r • in a flurry of
excitement over th e
hampion~hip
baseball game
"hich wa~ to take place the coming • aturday. The game
wa;; to be between the Elmwood and Logan school.,
as they had won the mo;;t games during the cason.
Every day, before and after school, the young athlete· of the two
s hool s could b seen practicing for the big game. Ea h wa: determined to win, but report had it that the Logan ,chool would
easily take th • honors, as Elmwood had only one dependable
pitcher, Arthur \\'oods, and he couldn't exactly be called dependable, for he had lost his Ia. t two game . True, there was
Jack Dalton, but Coach orti1Up wouldn't dar take a hance
with him, for it was like throwing the gam away.
o aid the
, porting editor.
aturday finally rolled around, and the players were fu11 of
enthu. iasm, that is, all except Jack Dalton, for h lay in the
hammock on hi porch , lazily day dreaming.
Afternoon cam , and the game wa. called. Elmwood won
th e to: . -up, and cho:e out.. Logan'. fir~t man came to bat. One,
two, three trike~. and he wa. out of the way. The next one
got a two-bas hit, which wa. followed by a walk. Then hu k
\\'atson, the Logan . lugger, . tepped up and hit a three-bagger.
The next two men were out on ftie., leaving the . core 2 to 0.
Elmwood cam to bat, but did nothing. Th . core . tayed the
. amc until the third inning, when Logan . cor d one run and
Elmwood tlu e, tying the score. It continued thi way until the
~ewnth. Logan then scored four run and • ·orthup put Dalton
into the box. A gasp of surprise arose from the Elmwood
rooter.. Wh at wa. the matt r with 1 orthup? Wa he giving
the game away? Rut ~orthup ev idently kn w what he was
doing, for Dalton r tired the . ide in a. whirlwind fa hion. In

the eighth nothing wa done on either side. The ninth wa
another .corcless inning. In the tenth, Logan, after two men
were out, filled the ba c.. Dalton wa in a hole, with oach
Xorthup on one . ide trying to cheer him up, and the Elmwood
crowd on the other, hooting and jeering at him in a mo.t unloyal
fa. hion. Be. ide thi , there wa. \\'at.,on, their heavy hitter at
bat. If he walked him, it meant a run. If he took a chance on
. triking him out, and he hit it, it would probably mean tnrce
run.. The big que. tion in hi.- mind wa , " \\'h at , hall I do?"
He decided to take the chance. " nc ball,' called the umpire;
"two ball.." Ja k'. heart melted away at thi .· . If he lo;;t the
game, the tudent would forget that Wood had done it and
there Jack would be, for the r st of the year, before the eye of
all hi . choolmates, branded as "the boy who lo. t the championship for u !" He would win if it took all the . trength he had
left. Again he wound up for the throw. " trike one. ' Thi.
time a cheer went up for him. " trike two," bawled out the
umpire. "Ball three," he called again. ~ ow it . tood three ball
and two trike,. Th outcome of the game hinged on the next
ball pitched. Beside. this, the reputation of Jack Dalton depended on it. He wound up, and let go with all hi. , trength.
The next moment he wa being cheered to the echo by hi
. chool mate . In Elmwood' half, he wa the one ''"ho hit a
three-bagger and drove the winning run in. ~Tow he wa on
the , boulder of the throng, the target for numerou bouquet ,
whi h were being thrown at him, hitting him from al1 . ide ..
Ju. t a one bunch of ro. e. hit him-he woke up and found
harle Brown throwing , mall p bb1e at him and hollering,
"Hey, Jack, aren't you going to the game between Elmwood and
Logan?" Jack did go to the game, but it turned out somewhat
differ ntly from th way it had in hi dream.

hand in one of mine, and my lun h box in the other, I set out,
triumphantly, for East Dem·er. ::\[y box I displayed a. the
knights of old \\W wont to di~play their shields; its onspicuou
emblem, E . D. H. . fta~hed back the beams of the morning un,
pro ]aiming to all the world that I wa a High chool tudentand (a, I learned later) a Freshman.
Imagine my dismay wh n I found myself lost in th . wirling mob of East Denver'. lobby. I clung desperately to my
si!:'ter.
he wa · a enior and could .-afely guide me through
th diffi ultie of the first day. Imagine my despair when thi.
la. t refuge \Ya. deni d m ; I wa. as. igned to Latin chool.
Room Two wa. elu.ive, but, after examining every door,
:--tarting from the top floor and coming down, I discovered it on
the fir t. In my • at there I felt at pear . I grinned for very
pride and kept on grinning. The t acher (::\Ir. Karge) told me
to "cut out looking foolbh .. , But why hould I not give the
girl the plea.ure of eeing my rare, angelic mile?
ertainly,
in thi free country, one could a. sume any facial expre. ion he

Thu pa. ed two long hours. My ~eat wa.· hard; I wanted
to play in the bright sunlight; I became tired . But relief finally
came. \\'e made out our program· and pas~ed from class to

studied, "one hour ach," that v ry evening. I thought thi s
unjust, so I de ided that I, for one, would not.
oon I felt an a hing void in my internal r gions. Between
clas es I lipped into the cloak hall and found that whoever had
ravaged my lunch had b en con. iderate enough to leave me
two of the sandwi h s, C\'Cn if he had atcn all my dessert. I
devoured on of thes and was gazing fondly at th ' oth r, when
a teacher poun ed upon my peaceful repa~t. I offered that grim
vi aged gloom a sandwich. (\\'hat a sacrifice!) , he laughed
and de lined. (What a relief!)
he then told me that I had
committed a "breach of . hool etiquette." I didn't understand
why eating a bite should be call d ·u h an outlandbh name, but
for the ake of pea , I agreed with her.
A the day went on, my morning'. confiden e gradually returned. I felt more and more important; and I skipped home
with a glowing account of the wond rs I was going to perform

O:\Ii\IY wa-.. a Fre~&gt;hman, who came to. rhool with a beaming fate, a yellow tic , and :hiny pumps. II wa a bright
little chap, alway. b nt on gaining knowledge. Hi ·
mother told a story that Tommy had never uttered an untruth
in his lif · and she never kne\\ him to di. oh ·y; w you may
know that he brought to s hool not only a fare that glistened
from soapsud:, but abo immaculately learned les. on . .
One day Tommy wa. . itting in the office (he had gone
down to fix his program), anrl while h was sitting there, guess
what? A tall, scrawny enior strolled in and took hi . tand
before the se retary's desk. Ilis brow wa.· clouded, hi . hair di. hevclcd, and a formidable strip of adhe.·ive plaster encircled
hi thumb.
"I want to be excused to go to the cloctor's- cut my thumb
to th bonc-I .ay, it's hard lurk to miss that clas., but it'
a b. olutely nece. ary."
Tommy didn't hear the rest, but h :aw the tall fellow wink
hi. right eye to a boy who • too I near the door.
As I . aid, Tommy wa wide-awake-he realized all. It \\·as
sho king. It grated on his nen·cs. He made up hi . mind to betray all to lay op n the deed of the wretch e. - but then he remembered that it i. always best to wait and a k your mamma,
which he did.
"Thoma. ha. a wonderful moral development," thought
the proud mother, jerking hi . tie into place, and, he added

aloud: ''11) on, you are always right, but you had better . ay
nothing, berau. I would not have my little boy a tell-tale for
anything."
till it worried Tommy, and he paced the floor like
a restles lion for hour., hi . lip . et, hi eye· popping with rage.
But th next morning he wa .• omewhat calmed, and he begged
his mother to feel under hi wai tcoat p ket how thin the worry
had made him and he . miled up at her lovingly a. he tucked an
extra ham . andwich and an extra piece of pie into lzis lunch.
A year pa. sed. Tom became a oph. Hi . tep wa .. lower
and hi eye had lo. t their . parkle he had experi need hi

One bright spring morning, he fell in with a friendly
enior.
" w, come on Tom, let\ dit h, you'r working too hardyou won't get any r ward for your effort . "
Tom whirled hi book . trap daintily in the air.
" h, no, I couldn't be dishonest, vou know."
" \Vell, then, Tom, you meet u.· 'on the lawn after school
and we'll ju.t have a circu:-." The "we" wa not empha ized,
but the circus wa., and the rc~t I annat tell.
Two more years had pas~ d and Tom i now in his eniorhoorl and, to make thi . woeful tale a cheerful one, I will only

E, THE

faith in th integrity of the faculty and . tudent of
Ea t Denver High chool, and ongratu1ate them on
their plendid achiev ment , in education, athl ti . mu i , literature, oratory, and debate.
\Ve point with pride to our great rna terpiece, the "Annual,"
with it art and it: b autiful photograph . \ e look with confidence toward th future, when the pre ent undergraduate will
attempt to meet the wi. he of the tudent body, and mold in orne
degree, at lea t, the pirit and principle of our chool.
we are now leaving Ea t Denver forev r, and hall have
no opportunity to carry out any idea we may have in regard to
the government and di cipline of the chool, it i our purpo e,
in thi platform, to tate briefly the principle for which we
. tand and which we hope will be in force when we end our
children and our children' children here to r eive their higher
education. \ e hope that the following uoge tion will receive
areful con ideration by both teacher and pupil , for then we
hall be happy in the b lief that our effort have not been in vain.

but not in the
embly Room, we feel ure the students would
be better sati fied.

W

Ho oR SYSTEM.
We heartily approve of an honor y tern in the chool,
whereby teacher will be di pen d with a di ciplinarian , and
u ed in tead a educator . It i an acknowledged fact that
the quiete t room are the room in which the pupil are let
alone. We believe that the obje t of mo t of those enrolled in
thi chool i to tudy, and not to act "fre h." \Ve recommend
the earne t effort of the faculty toward the recognition of our
hone ty in the taking of te t , and we a ure them that we have
a great an abhorrence of cheating in examinations a they have.
ATHLETI S .

\ e rejoice at the furtherance of intercla athletic , a it
open a broader field to tho who de ir and need uch training
\ e are very much in favor of inter chola tic athletic , a
we believe that the spirit of competition and the determination
to win develop a grit that i useful in after life.

ILE T PERIOD .

DEBATI G.

v e favor the abolition of the o-called ilent period . They

We favor paying more attention to debating, and we hould
like to ee a debating league formed with all the other high
chool in the city. It i our belief that debating should be added
to the chool curriculum, a it, more than anything el e, develop
a keen brain and give one the ability to tand on hi feet and
expre hi opinions.

cannot be enforced, b cau e, whenever a teach r i not at hand,
every one talk . It i afe to ay, that at lea t 0 per cent of the
tudent converse during the ilent period , and they eem to
move ahead ju t a quickly a could be expected if no one aid
a word. It i po. ible to talk and walk at the ~ am time, and
if the teacher would turn their energie toward quicker action,
in tead of le talking, more would be accompli bed. We favor
freedom of , pe ch, except in
mbly Room. If it wa generally under tood that talking would be permitted in the halls,

STUDENT

OMMITTEES.

We indor e the action of the faculty in forming a girls'
committee and a boy ' ommittee to benefit the pupil , a it will
keep the teacher more in touch with the tudent body.
NEW BUILDING.

We are in favor of quicker action on the part of ongre
in granting permi ion for the erection of a new Ea t ide High
chool building in ome other locality. The pre ent building i
old and i ituated too near the down-town di trict for the convenience and education of the tudent .

Lu cH Tx fE.
We favor the exten ion of the noon hour for lunch to fortyfive minute , to give more time for the proper dige tion of food
before entering on the fifth period. It i rea onable to uppo e
that one' blood cannot be in hi tomach and hi head at the
same time.

PLAYS.

We faYor having a hort playl t each month, at which a
mall admi ion fee shall be charged, the proceed to go to the
nnual. In thi · way, more inter t would be arou ed, more
people would have an opportunity to take part in chool activities, and more money ould be rai ed for the Annual.

Co
In conclu. ion, we a ~k the co-operation of the chool as a
whole in carrying out the e reform . , and in bringing the teacher
and pupil nearer together. \ e appeal to the tudent of Ea t
Denver High
hool upon thi declaration of our principle and
purpo e . We are confident that under the leader hip of the
future editor and editre es our appeal will not be in vain; that
the following Annual board will meet every ju t expectation of
the pupil who e serYant they are; that, under their leader hip,
our chool will continue to adYance; that ucce and pro perity
will abide with the teacher and pupil ; that new glory will be
added to our own Ea ~ t Denver High.

�~be ~iris-' &lt;Committee
We feel that we owe mu h to our prin ipal, becau e,
thou •h we arc purel) an advisory body, yet he ha , kindly taken
our advice and gi,·en U'i everything that lay in hi· power to give.
Thi committe is re ponsible for the girl ' dance whi h
are held every \\'edne day. The purpo e of these dances is to
teach dan ing to girls who do not know how to dan e. We owe
the su ce s of thee dance almo t wholly to tho.e girls who . tay
to help teach the other .
The new r . t-room was built on the ad vic of thi
ommittee aLo, but the curtain were furnished by our elves.
We have made the new pupil · a quainted with the _ hool
and its customs.
nd we have tried to . ee that very new girl
found fri nd and a place to eat her lun h.
\ Ye hav a~ked for the following thing·: ( 1) a gymna ium
(2) a girl.' lun h-counter; (3) drinking fountain on the fir t
and . e ond floor ; ( 4) electric light for the cloak hall of room
4 and 9; ( 5) locker. for the athletic girls.
The member of the committee are:

HI committee wa organized in

the enior cia~::;, which elected three. This was the fir ·t
time that uch a committ e ha been organized in the history of
the Ea::;t Denver Hi"h chool.
The aim of thi committee i two-fold: Fir. t, to give th'

the~e conclu~ions: Fi r ' t, that the democracy of the s hool i , to
be prized above everything ebe; s ond, that the unity of the
chool in all matter;; i. e.sential; third, that the opinion of the

�§ootball ~ea~on, 1914
ITH only three "lettered" men back in school, the
football eason of 1914 did not look very promi ing
for East. The boy turned out for practice with good
spirit, and kept lr. Ke ter with nearly three full t am working
the whole year. The out-of-town game
tarted with the
Boulder Prep . Then came the Aggie Fre hmen, and la t,
terling High.
The fir t of the city game was played with orth Denver
in a ea. of mud, and naturally thi game wa a low one. North
wa kept from coring, while Schreiber and Brigg both made
touchdown . The boys came out of their mud bath in good
spi rits.
The We t game wa too one sided to be worth mentwmng.
everal of th e econd team men made their "D " in thi game.
The outh Denver game wa the hardest fought of the high
chool serie . chreib's toe went back on him in the fir t half, and
he kicked out of bound on the eight-yard line.
outh made a
touchdown.
field goal in the cond quarter brought .Juth's
. ore up to ten. Ea t recuperated in the third quarter and took
Fike' boy off their feet by making a touchdown and kicking
goal. But our team took another lump in the la t quarter, and
outh lipped another core over on them.
It wa hard luck to lo e the Manual game.
ntil nearly
the end of the game it eemed as if there would be a nothing to
nothing core. In the la t three minute of play th re wa a
mi taken ignal and nobody wa there to receiv the pa. from
cen ter. 1iddlekauf of Manual broke through the line, recovered the ball, and ran for a touchdown.

W

B tween the halves of the l\lanual game, the bricklayers
brought out a. poor imitation of an Ea t Denver player, with the
evident intention of sending him up in ·make. They didn't
carry out their plan. , however, for Ea ·t Denver came out in
force and . oon returned in triumph to the grand tand, after
, eriou ly interfering with their own funeral preparation .
The ea on ended with a big banquet given the team by
~lr. Ke ter. Here the fellow forgot their sorrow in a big feed
at the ~Ietropole, at whi h ~ make and joke· were the mean of
aetting everyone in a good humor. For the fir t time since the
outh game, the team really had a good time. The boys presented lr. Ke tcr with a lorris chair, in re ognition of the work
he had done in trying to mold a bunch of green boy into a
championship team. Although hi hope · were not realized thi ·
year, hi work wa not u ele s, for he now ha a dozen veteran ,
with whom to tart the next ea on. Everyone appreciate the
work of ~Ir. Kester and hope he will have the ucce. next year
that he de erved thi .
chreib r made an excellent captain and kept the fellow
working every minute. He played a good game all the time.
Everyone knew that when chreib hit the line, Ea. t wa bound
to gain.
1anager Gaynor got some fine practice game , and held
down hi po ition in all other way in good hape. Jim i captain-elect for next year and will have a full team of "lettered"
men to help him win. If he doe a well with hi po ition next
vear a. he did thi , there will be no doubt about the 1915
~hampion hip.

HE ba ball a::;on opened up with every pro pe t for the champion hip in our
favor. \\'e had four letter men back, Lee utherland, hort top; Herman Bergerhoff, catcher; Jim Jewitt, pit her, and ~Ial Dcnni on, captain. The fellow who
had not played before were at la t trained into good form.
Jordan, the leading batsman of the high
hool , alway · hit when a hit wa
needed. He abo cau •ht with great ::;kill in two of the game .
prague wa without
any doubt the be. t pitcher in any of the hool ·. Hi · peed, hi curve , hi headwork
and hi marvelou control pulled the team out of many hole . Die Liggitt on fir t,
Bricky \i illison i\lidge ~lorley and Guy owan on econd, all played good ball.
Chet \ all, Bennet, o ·tello, and Buddy Ker::;hner were gr at player · in the outfield.
Buddy never mi ed a fly, and never let a grounder go through him.
In our practice game we ,,·er Yery uc e . ful. We fir::;t played D. U., and,
though prague aave them but one hit, till we lo t the game 1 to 0. The next day we
went to Fort ollins and play d the "Aggies." The score was 4 to 1, favor of Eat,
until the la t inning, the train came and the fellow · were in ::;u h a hurry that they
allowed the " agie " to get three runs in one inning. The . core wa. a tie, the game
ending 4 to 4.
Finally, the . ea on began, and the fellow were x ited, . pecially tho who had
not b n in any championship game. The team went to pie e and lo t the fir ·t game to 1Torth, 10 to 1. The fellow
naturally felt down-hearted, but under the coaching of Mr. heldon and the cheering of Denny, they went into the
next game with \Ye t determined to play their harde t. They did, but luck wa again t them and they lo t thi game
by a . core of 3 to 2. The urpri ing thing about the team wa the ticking qualitic. of th " player which they di
pla}ed after lo ing the fir t two game . In tead of giving up completely, they . tarted with more "pep" and vim
than they had ever hown b fore. The next game wa with outh Denver. Thi game wa ea ily won by Ea t, by
a ~ ore of 11 to 7. The next game, with our old rival ~Ianual, wa " ry ex iting. Although we . cored four run
the fir~t inning, \\' \Yere not o fortunate iu the inning that follow·'d. \\'e were not sure of the ~ame until Denni. on hit a home run over the right fielder head, with a runner on third ba . . This inch d the game, and the core
. tood 6 to 4 in our faYor.
nyone who aw the econd game with Xorth, will agre with me that it wa the mo. t
exciting gam played the entire year, though we finally lot in the twelfth inning.
\\'e did not win the champion. hip, but we did fini h econd, notwith tanding our poor . bowing at the tart
of the ea on. The letter men were:
Bergerhoff, Jordan, prague, Jewitt, Wall, Ligaitt, \Yilli on, l\Iorley, utherland, hort, Bennet, Denni on,

�A T clo ed the season of 1914 by winning the city champion hip
with 52 points, el ven mor than her nearc l opponent, outh
Denver, a finish consistent with the brilliant start East made in
winning the indoor meet.
The undcrcla men made a good showing in the Freshman-Sophomore
meet. taking fir ·t in the 440,
0 and mile.
The day of the city m t was ideal and the track fast. In the first
three events we only look a second, third and fourth. At this point the
·chool . howcd its famou. spirit and backed the team when it really
needed the upport. The rest of the met:t wa all East.
Costello proved his individual ahility by scoring th hight•st number
of points, 13, winning a fir. t in the high jump, with 5 feet 6 inches; a
fir·t in the bro:Jd jump, with a leap of 21 fe t J!~ inches; a econd in
the hundred, and winning his l~g in the half-mile relay.
Don. Knowlton reflected honor on the chool by tying for the Gano
watch, a prize for abtllty m hoth athl!'tic and scholarship. He took a
second in the high hurdles and a third in th · discus, th rcby placing in
both a track and field event, one of th conditions of eligibility for the
.ano watch.
"Gabby" Holland followed his old custom of running away from all
his competitors in the 440. This is th' second time "Gabby" has won
thi · event. Be ides making a new city record of 5 4-5 seconds, our hero
ran the last leg of the relay but was unable to overcome South's lead.
Paul Brigg&lt;, a Junior, vaulted 10 feet 3 inches for first place.
Kirk Howry, though not in the best condition, placed second in the
440, third in the,, 0, and ran on the relay team .
•\lbi, Gillis, and Hobbs fini hcd second, third and fourth respectively,
in the mile.
Ivan Patten took a place in the 220 and ran a pretty race in the relay.
, chreiber put the hot for a third, and Dcnni on hurled the discu for
a second.
\\'illiam'lon and Hobbs. both Frc. hmen, took fourth place in the 8 0
and mile, rc pcctiv!'lv
Dave Jones was captain of the team and did all in hi power to
bring the champion hip home.
fr. Ke ter was on the job every afternoon. The . cor . of his teams how how romp !tnt he b, and to watch
his team in action is a practical demon !ration of the clean athletic he
insists upon. ('lyde Eamc held up the managing end in a very bu inc

The team, school pirit, and the "never quit" attitude of the squad
were w II up to the old East Denver standard.

At this moment his gaze f •ll on a stage coach whi h wa

"Ah ~ Here is m\ chance.' muttered the villain hidinrr

"Don't you dare,'' interposed the youth.
" 1 obody ever said 'dare' tom

The hoy stood calmly with crossed arms facing the villain.
Th wretch rai ced his revolver, when . uddenly th exe utJOn

W hile the bandit wa~ gazing into th muzzl of the revolver,

" o it . eem ," replied th one addre ed.

" What the - is that?" questioned J es. e.
"That i. Handsome Danny ma ot," replied the Jeuth giving the dog a pat.

�When th • two arrived Dan said, ' 'I must go and watch
my treasure, you go on to ' ripple reek, deliver up the pri . oner
and end back aid."
A whir of wing:, wa heard before they had progre ed far
and an air hip driven by none other than 'ole Younger . woopcd
down, picked up the prisoner and sp d away.
"They ~hall not escape me," thundered the d •tective, and
raising hi · rifle he fired . Hi . aim was true, there was the
noi c of e'- aping ga. and the airship began to settle de pite
the effort of the pilot· to repair it.
\\'hen Old ilver Eye reach ·d the hip it wa . nearly
mended , . o levelling his rifle he said , "One more move and
you die."
Jes stooped wiftly, . eized a can and threw the content&lt;;
on th det tiv and hi faithful dog.
ld ilvcr Eye began
to grow . leepy.
" ave me, boy," he . aid, "they have chloroformed me."
He opened his eyes only to ee the dog sink to the ground .
The o upant · of the airship jumped out, . eized both and
sp d away.

"Get into the coach and we will hand you over to th
,lUthoritie at ripple Creek," ordered the captor.
There had been recent rain~ and the road wa · wa~hed
away in ome place . \\'hen the coach rea heel one of these
pla cs the ba k wheeb commenced to slip off the road.
"Jump for your lives," yelled Old Dan, and suiting hi .
action to hi word he leaped from the coach.
The tage went over with a crash carrying the desperado
with it down into the canon, all the ret, in luding the dog,
having jumped out. The . urvivors li ten d and heard a faint
cra:h one thou~and feet below.
"?\ow I will not hav to take Je ·se to prison," remarked
Old ilver Eye.
A they start d to walk to the Lu ky Find th boy asked the
detective why he had ome W t.
"I had a on who wa · kidnapped when a baby and taken
out \\'e t. I heard that he wa working in a mine out h re;
hi . name i Harold Lightfoot. Do you know him?"
"\\'hy, that i my nam • and I work in the Lu ky Find. "
The dete tive looked at him clo~ely for some time and
finally exclaimed, "Your fa e i familiar, you are my . on."
Their joy wa
hart lived, however, for the crack of a
rifle wa heard and the youth fell with a bullet in his . houlder,
while Old ilver Eye heard the word , "Ha.! you thought me
dead, but here I am to av ng my If," and looking up h saw
Jesse James tanding on a nearby rock with a rifle in his hands.
"Hold up your hands," thundered Jes. e.
"I have never held up my hand for a cur and what' more
I never will."
"Hold up your hand or I'll-" He never finished his
;;enten e for Handsome Dan seeing hi. master's plight jumped
and grabbed the robber by the throat.
Having made the pri. oner . ecure for a e ond time, the
detective ha tened with him to young Lightfoot, who wa at
a nearby pring with ld an.

After the gold had been taken are of, Lightfoot and Old
Dan set out to search for the dete tive.
• Ieanwhile the robber~ had landed on an i~land in the
outh ca. They built a cage in which they kept the detective
and hi . dog, who through lack of food and abuse had be omc
wry thin. The prisoners remain •d in thi~ condition day after
day, watching Jes. e and ole rob !'hips and make the re\\'!'

One day a ship wa::; sighted bearing a pirate flag.
"Let. join for e with th m. \\'ith a , hip like that we an

�But as a phnk was being put out a voice from b hind
said: "Don't get in such a tarnal hurr) my hearties," and
Cole and Jesse found themselve.· gazing into two sixshooter ·
held in the hands of th • captain and the first mate, who were
none other than Old Dan and Young Lightfoot.
Jes!'e and Cole were confined in the hold and the next day
Old ilver Eye vi!&gt;ited them.
"I give you one hance, '' :-;aid he, "Do you reform?"
''I do," aid Cole.
"~fc too," said Jesse, "I've had enough of thi ·."

''I'm with you," replied Cole.
The ship landed and the villains went up to the captain and
said: " \\"e are pirates like yours ·If and would like to join force.

.:Yery good," replied the captain, a man with a bushy heard

"That is a neat little nest egg," said he, "but we have

The girl ' c!ebatina club declaims,
With gusto and with thunder,
The greatest topic of the day,
In spite of many a blunder.

They may not all be expert yet,
But, still, they arc improvin,£! ,
And if you vi;;it th em, you '11 find
They al"·ay. keep thing · movin•• .

The member; try to talk at length ,
\\'ithout a -..ingle .tammer,
And learn to do it pretty well ,

If you\·c a doubt on any point ,

And if your doubt r main. at all,

in the month of De ember they de ided to organize a club.

ilE 'la . of 191 ~ presented the delightful comedy, "The
Liar,'' )larch 19 and 20 in the chool auditorium. The
audien es at both performance were enthusia tic over the
~u ce~ ful presentation of the play and appre iated it immen ·ely.
The play dealt with a young man who believed hi~ whole
e-;istence on earth depended upon lying. The situation· whi h
hi: lying produced were ertainly funny, and the play wa full
of life from tart to finish. Tragedy in reality, yet comedy for
the audien e, the play was thoroughly enjoyable.
The cat '"as ho.en by ~lr. Pitt , and it certainly wa ' well
picked. The character-; \\er admirably adapted to their part
and under the able training of their director they gave a. fine
a performance as an) enior class ha ever pre ented.
Raymond Lindemann was an ex ellent leading man. He
played the part of Young \\'ilding, "The Liar," in a very
pleasing manner. Papillion, the valet, tutor and marqui , gave
con. id rable humor to the play and hi . futile effort to reform
his master aused much enjoyment. Lionel Lon dale played
thi · character part in a wry fine manner.
on. uelo Harmon a · ~lis. Grantham wa admirably fitted

T

to play the leading part oppo;.ite Young Wilding. Her part
called for real acting and her interpretation of her part brought
out its meaning effectiwly.
ir Jam s Elliot, her "most heroic
lm·er, ' wa efliciently played by Ariel ewhart.
Armour Lind:ay made a. good an old man as one could
hope to e.
• the father of th young prevaricator, he wa. rich
in humor, wh n tryinO' till to have faith in his . on.
~largaret Temple played the diffi ult part of l\Ii
Godfrey
superbly. The d mand ' of th part were indeed well met.
A· servant the two chosen were the best possible. Lynn
Rader, a John, and arl Beck, as William, were ex ellent.
Altogether, this play was one that the las of 1915 should
feel proud of, a it i the equal of all and uperior of many
play which have be n pres nted in thi
hool. The faithful
work of the cast and tho. c conne ted with the play de erv .
commendation. ~lr. Pitts, as the dire tor, and Hal Booth, as
stag manager, de en·e great redit forth abl way in which they
conducted the play.

The actor were well cho en and ::;eemed to f el p rfectly their

The character·, in the order in which they appeared, were:
Lady neerwell, a young and fa cinating widow, who was
pre ident of the chool for candal, Louise Ryan; nake, Lady
neerwell' accomplice, who wa. a young author, Howard

Peter Teazle, a wealthy old er::;twhile ba helor, who had been
c:q tiHtted h) :t fas inating young country girl, who nearly
pla~ued him to death with her tea. ing and frivolity. The part
of the young bride was play d h) Glady: Ea;;t. The role of
Charles urface, a wild da;;hing young . port, wa well pla) ed
by .\rthur Ianning. High Gillis imper onated ir Oliver
urface. He used hi. own lever way of finding out the hara ter of hi two entirely different young nephew .

had grown gray in the service; Prue Bo. twick, our mana~er,
who had spent many long hours of earnest work, who ru:-;hed
the people upon the . tage on time or held them back when too

stage manager, arranged everything very cleverly. The or he tra,
under the leader.hip of Herman a. tie, gave u some very good

For the oul of my young~ter:-;. \\'hy couldn't th y gue ·.

They arc gone-th bright face of youth and of maid
Pa ed onward, and outward, and far,
Far away from my k n. I tay on. I haYe . taycd

They are gone, little reeking my orrow. or joy .
ot a tithe of tho e face again
hall meet me on earth, for my girl and my boy.
Are worldling , for sorrow or gain.

They are gone. Ju. t a few gra. ped my hand for "Goodbye,'
Ju. t a few spoke their grateful regret,
While the re t, with a laugh and a lilt in the eye,
Romped past. Ah! How can I forget?

Ah, God!

�"TilE FOOL" AT E. D. H.

In a ". ilent period," and all around the~e
\Yas nary a teacher anywhere,

(E,·en a. you and ·I).

In the office he waited the long hour.· through,

And he wig,gled, and twi. ted, and aid things, too,
tarting at every foot-fall anew,
Getting nervous, and . cared, and lone~ome and blue,
(E,·en a. you and 1).

And the fool that da\· almo~t reached hi~ room,
(Even-a: you and I)
\\'hen a teacher pa~:ing pronounced his doom,
Tipping his talk in it. fulle. t bloom,
And he pa. :eel to the office in cleepe. t gloom,
(Even ,ts you and I).

And he promi~ ·d he'd alway. be good in his turn,
(Even as you and I)

Humor in those eve· .o. tern
That bade him ~;y he'd try and learn,

And he talked, a. he went, to the lady fair,

In drow y, weet content,

There's a hilloLk in the background,
With now and mi . t and louds;
While in the foreground, gra. s and flower. ,

And think how good i life,

Oh. a poet would find fancies by the thou . ands
In thi nook.

Oh woodman, spare that tree!

our high and mighty taste for speed. Excitement reigns but stiff
collars do not. The soft collarites, with Harry Dimmitt in the lead,
attacked Paul Johnson (of all the shocking treatment). Rip! Last

gleefully, "Coffee! Wienies! Lunch!" We gather around the

it is discovered and the younger set busies itself eating ravenously.

Positively we've explored everything for m1les, our shews (Oh,

Dorothy Andrews didn't quite succeed in drowning Mr. Pitts (With

About four-thirty P. M . we (tout en emble- i. e. - the tout

rather wobbly, but the spirit of fellowship for everything and everybody pervaded us. This time we did not rush around madly trying
to decide which car we liked best, but sanely sat down in the first
one we stubbed our toes on. The ride back to Denver was one continuous song. The train even eemed to drone its acco:npaniment a
it hummed back over the rails. We were at peace with the whole
world, and especially did we know that a big silent feeling of comradeship for the class of 'I 6 and for every member of it lay deep
down in our hearts. We knew, too, that however many the years
that passed by, however great the distances that separated us during
those years, the spirit that ro e in us then would never, never be
forgotten.

������IDqe i!;istory of tqe Qllaaa of 191 8
On the second of September, nineteen fourteen, the good ship "Aspiration" weighed anchor and started on her journey.
The first part of the journey was made under great difficulty, as the C' s were in constant turmoil. Frequent squalls were
encountered and our superior officer, who was a Latin, warned us to tay close to deck, as many had perished in the "F rosh" sea.
It was with many misgivings that we dropped anchor in Sophomore Bay on the sixth of june, nineteen fifteen.
We et out on the second part of the journey with glad hearts. We passed through fogs of History and our pilot endeavored
to teach us Geometry while on deck. We pas ed over several bars of Physical Geography in safety, but struck the partly submerged "burg" of Rome, during the reign of julius Caesar. In the latter part of the econd half of our journey, we were struck
by a torpedo of German grammar, but our allies- French and English-gallantly came to our rescue. The second part of our
voyage was ended with the ship's officers pouring oil upon the troubled waters.
We are awaiting the next stage of our journey with a great deal of genuine pleasure as we have become acclimated to the
people and climate of the East.
WILLIAM BRYA

��last September in the course of human events it became necessary for
us, a group of timid little human beings, to depart from the el•menlary
schools and the fostering care of the elementary teachers and thus to sever
the last ties which bound U! to home and mother. We presented ourselves
before the august auemblage at East Denver, humbly askmg that we be
allowed to assume, among the separate and equal powers of this instotutoon,
the meek and lowly station to which its customs entitled us.
The history of the Freshman class of 1915, in common with that of all
Freshman classes of other institutions, is a tale of repeated injuries and insults.
\Ve hold the followong statements to be indisputable :
That our verdancy on September eighth last, was our own property, and
by rights should have been respected .
That our bumps of conceit were of truly conspicuous soze and needed not
manhandling to reduce them to normal as measured by the Bmet tests.
That our tendency to play, indocated by our attempts at games of tag in
the hall and on the stairs, was a harmless thing, as it only endangered the li1es
of several hundred people. Furthermore that it should have been encouraged,
particularly as it is vastly more educational than making goo-goo eyes- the
habitual occupation of the upper class students.

72

That our eagerness to recite should be commended, not condemned, by the
teachers. \Ve should not be reminded more than six times each day that we
are "F reshies" and act like it; nor should we be asked on every occasion,
"\Vhat grade school did you come from?" or "How did YOU get into
High School?"
We hold that we should be permitted to lose our way at least ten times
the first day without a giggling audience to note our embarrassment. Also, We
should further be permitted to ask every single one we meet the exact location
of room H .
We contend that, after makmg several tnps to the basement and searchong
in every corner for the elevator, which we are assured would take us to room
H, we should be forgoven for acquorong a firmly rooted conviction that
Ananias has some friends 1n East Denver.
We also hold that we should be protected from the jokes of "The wis ~
fools," who stood in our place last year. And we solemnly declare that after
june 9, 1916, we are, and ought to be, free from their dominion, and that we,
the members of the Freshman Class, do pledge ourselves to fight for this
freedom and for our right to impose on the class of 1919 all penalties and
punishments given us during the past year.

1 GOVER ME T

All government re t on the consent of the governed. Thi ·
is the bas1 on which the United tales rests, and if the schools arc:
to lit us to be good c1t1zen the1r govern.nent should also rest upon
this principle. We, therefore, hold that by nght the pupils hould
have full say as to how they should be governed and the nght to
delegate that authonty to who,soever they please, students or
teachers, as the case may be. We furthermore believe that, given
proper time and encouragement, a s tisfactory sy ten of tudent
government could be worked out by the pupils.
HONOR

Y TEM

We firmly declare that the Honor ystem should be adopted
in the class room as well as in the tudy hall. We believe that each
pupil should feel that it is his own responsibility to pass the daily
recitations or the occasional te t in the fairest and squarest way possible. And we favor the absence of teachers from the roo, during
examinations, as their presence wculd eem to mdicate to some a certain distrust in their honor.

ible. No matter how attached to the old school we may be, it
cannot be advanced as the model of perfection in school buildings.
We abo suggest that the best po sible design be chosen with regard
to co:wenience, lighting, laboratories, librarie , and physical welfare.
Economy in money is not always the true t economy.
LUN H ROOM
We wish to thank those who have by their untmng labor obtained for us the lunch room.
uch thanks as these are feeble in
xpressing the satisfaction in having dinner at home, and in having a
good dinner at that. We show our thanks more by the use of a
thing than by our words.
till, we do wish that they would change
the menu oftener.
OCIAL HOUR
We advocate the resuming of the Friday afternoon dances of
previous classes, not only because of the pleasure they would afford,
but also becau e they would help to promote ocial feeling among the
students, offer larger opportunities to become acquainted, and thus
pave the way to more and better school activities.

LO KER

It has fallen to our lot to again voice the plea for lockers to
replace the present cloak halls.
o much has been said before on
this subject that we feel it is scarcely necessary to go into details.
We are ure we may count on the hearty support of the students, most
of whom have had hats, coats, lunches, and other things stolen from
the unprotected cloak halls, or have found their hat on the none to:&gt;
clean floor, rather the worse for havmg been walked on by many feet.
EW BUILD! TG
This Annual Board, as have previou boards, requests that
the moving to a new school building be accompli hed as soon as pas-

WI

DOW

HUTTER

We believe in the safety first plan. The present method of
regulating the sunlight by shifting four heavy wooden shutters which
may break away at any time and fall upon the person adjusting them
is a menace to all. They needlessly mar the features and threaten
the lives of teachers and pupils.
(Only a slight blow upon some
portions of the skull may be fatal.) We think the comfort and
afety of all should be assured by the removal of these dangerous,
noisy, inadequate shutters that have to be operated by a long pole.
We favor the abolition of the old shutters and the installation of
modern yellow blinds.
79

�RET ROOM
Every school needs, and should have, at lea tone fully equipped
re t room for its girl . The one now used here, although small in
ize, could, with little expen e and work, be transformed into a pleasing, quiet room which would be at the disposal of all. The addition
of a rug or two, clean window curtain and shades, several oft sofa
pillows, a warm coverlet of some sort, and an extra chair, would go
to make the room exceedmgly comfortable and complete. The removal of the mirror to the outer room would also increase the desirability because of the added quiet that would result.

BOOK
We believe that all text-books should be sold through a school
book store. The price for mo t books are high, and the school
board could eliminate the retailer's profits by buying in large quantity. The books could then be old at cost (minus expenses). As
the purchase of text-books entails hardship upon many families this
would help materially.
DEBATI

G

We indorse practice in debating and wish to encourage all who
have the time and intere t to jom one of the chool societies. The
time will come when they will be asked to preside at some meeting.
They will owe it to themselves to know the simple rules of parliamentary law, and culti ate practice in expressing their opinions while
on their feet.

THE A

UAL

It has been rumored that this Annual wdl be the last one. We,
the present Annual Board, will express the opinions of former boards
as well as our own on this subject. The Annual is the object around
which all chool activities are centered.
thletics look to this book
for its completion. Plays, kates, and other ocial events are given
purpo ely to cover the finances. If there were no Annual, these
events could not be given and without them the school would be like
a jail. Literary work, which means life to some students, is givl'n
due prominence in its section. Without the Annual this work would
not be done, and as a result fewer students would attend our High
chools. The Annual is the only tie between the graduates and their
school life, which would be forgotten, if they did not have in their
own possession a complete catalog, pertaining to every member of ~heir
class and to every activity. The Annual is put out by people, who
are not interested in Athletics to a great enough degree to take active
part in them. This book, therefore, affords the outside work and
enjoyment for the editors, as athletics form the outside work and
enjoyment for the athletes. The experience received is worth a year's
course in studies. Therefore, since the loss of the Annual means the
downfall of athletics, social events, literary work and in fact '!Very
school activity, since the editors receive ample reward for their W&lt;irk,
and since the finances are always cared for. we desire to ask where
there is any foundation for this rumor? Further, why, after a trial
has been made through a long period of time and in a great many
different places, give up a thing which has ever been a success?
Why not give up every other activity? In short, why come to school
at all?

Mr. Puffer, who was formerly head coach at Loveland High School. took charge of the football squad, whtch for years had been under
the care of Mr. Kester. Considering the fact that the material was entirely new to him, Mr. Puffer turned out a splendid team, which lo t
only one game in the championship series. Ted Glendenning, old East Denver and University of Colorado star as tsted him.
The plendid work of acting captain Jordan, captain-elect Mitterwallner, Paul Brigg and Pat Lamborn, all of whom made the all- tar
city eleven is worthy of special mention. These four men were the backbone of the team. Other worthy members were Pernn, Freeman,
C. Lamborn, McCutcheon, Adams and Frank Briggs. Briggs, although the smallest player m the entire city conference, played end on the
first team during the entire season. He weighed only I 2 7 pounds and was but five
and one-half feet tall.
Briggs is a Sophomore.
II the above named played a
steady and consistent game.
The season opened with the whole school behmd tts team and closed in the
arne way. The Ea t-Manual game, which decided the city champtonship, was a
heart-breaker. East went down to defeat at the hand of her old rival by one point.
Old stand,by "johnnie," after making the touchdown for East, made a try for goal
but the wind blew the ball off its cour e and he missed.
We'll hope for better luck next year and with a captain such as Mitterwallner
to lead the Angels' team, the season is bound to be a successful one. Here's to you,
Mitt!

���The final event on the athletic calendar Ia t year was the city track and field meet which the East Denver athletes captured with a margin of 2 7 points, a fitting close to a successful year in athletics.
Our track team was not contented with merely winning this big spring event but also thought it necessary, as a finishing touch, to bring
forth the individual star of the day. Keith Clark proved to be this athlete, and stepped forward to become the man of the hour. Clark, as
individual tar of the meet, made 24 points for East, winning the high and the low hurdles and the broad jump, as well as placing in four other
event and running in the relay.
John Jordan distinguished himself by coming forth as a dark hor e in the pole vault, which he not only won, but he also set a new city
record at 10 feet 73/4 inche . The former record was 10 feet 7 inches. Paul Briggs, who will captain the 1916 squad, won the pole vault in
the meet of the two previous year , but was not able to compete in '15 on account of an illness from which he had not fully recovered. Gabby
Holland, captain of the team, won the 440-yard dash, as was his usual custom, in 53 4/ 5 seconds. This time, by the way, is the city
record, which was established by Gabby during the previous year.
East seemed to have a monopoly in the distance runs in the persons of Forrest Williamson, who won the 880-yard run and Hugh Gillis,
winner of the mile run. William Hobbs took second place in the mile and Wilkin Sheldon, captain of cross-country, placed in the 880-yard
run. One place in the meet came to us without question, third place in the high jump, which was tied for by three East Denver track men,
Clark, Jordan and Wellman.
The East Denver track victory was due principally to the splendid coaching system of Mr. Roy B. Kester; to the work of Captain Holland
and Manager Bruce Tidwell, and to the support of Keith Clark.
JUNIOR MEET
The Junior track meet of '15, which, as usual, occurred a little before the city meet, was equally successful.
and turned out the second individual star, Jim Wyman, who won three first places and a number of other points.

As oon as the baseball men were called out in 191 5, they were divided into four teams, each team bemg headed by a monogram player
of the previous year, and these four teams were then formed into a league which played a two-week schedule. This novel plan for early spring
practice was innovated by Coach Walter R. Sheldon and it proved very effective.
At the end of the two weeks' training, it was possible for the coach at least to come near judgmg "Who's Who," and an all-star team
was picked from the league to go up to Golden, where they played the State Industrial chool. East Denver lost this game a well as a number
of other games early in the season. These defeats, together with the fact that it was doubtful whether all the first stnng men would be up in
their studies for the championship games, made things look gloomy for East. The players did not become di couraged, however, but only
worked the harder. Results came, the players became faster and faster, a wonderfully speedy infield was developed. Out-of-town teams
were defeated and finally tho e players who had been down in their studies were signed up.
When the first city championship game was near at hand, the Angels knew they had a fast, steady team, and they proved it by easily
defeating South 12-7.
imilar scores resulted in all the other city games with the exception of the game with
orth. Thi loss was due
largely to the fact that Cowen, our shortstop, was not able to play.
The most interesting game of the series was the East-Manual game, the one which decided the city championship. When the eighth
inning came around it looked as though Manual had the title cinched with a score of 6-3. Ward was the second batter up for East and
singled with one out. Weiss singled, Schiele bunted and reached first. Guy Cowen now stepped up to the plate and virtually gave the championship cup to East by knocking a home run when the bases were full. This made the score 7-6 in favor of East and it remained 7-6 until the
game was ended.
To Guy Cowen and Fred L. Anderson belongs much of the credit for winning the championship. Cowen was, without a doubt, the
speedie t shortstop in the league, easily making the all-star team. Anderson could always be relied on for cool and clever pitching. He a! o
made a place on the all-star team. Johnny Jordan, as catcher, played a consist(nt game and had a peg that never failed. Ro coe Ward led
the East Denver batters. Wendell Hedgcock performed the duties of manager in a creditable manner and George hart, as captain, led the
team to victory.
In order to celebrate the winning of the city championship, a banquet was given in the Kaiserhof hotel for the letter men: Jay Williams,
Jim Wyman, Alvin Mooney, Joe amuelson, Adolf Weiss, Harry Lig~itt, John Blanch, Lewis chiele, ~endell Hedgecock, Harold Bennet,
John Jordan, Fred Anderson, George Short and Guy owen.
At the banquet Guy Cowen was el~:cted captain of the 191 6 squ1d and we all hope that hP may turn out another championship nine.

oon after the close of the football season, oach Puffer called out the candidates for basketball, and the call was re ponded to by about
forty fellows. The team was handicapped by the los of three men from last year's squad, but the new fellow soon showed that they were
a good as the last year men.
East Denver entered the Y . M. . A. League and gave a creditable account of themselves. Coach Puff r used many different line-ups
in the "Y" games, o as to get the best one for the city league. The team had outside games with Boulder Preparatory chool. Colorado
chool of Mines, Colorado prings High chool and Golden Reformatory School.
The city league opened with East playing outh. This game was featured by the playing of Jordan and Westergreen. Although this
was Westergreen's first year in basketball at East Hi, he played as though he might have been on the team for years. East won by a score
of 27 to 22.
The second game wa with Manual. East played a good defensive game.
elson, a first team man, was hurt before the game and his
absence was seriously felt. Pat Lamborn played Nelson's guard and held M anual's star forward to one basket. Adams also showed up well
in this game, which our chool won by a score of 23 to 14. To the surprise of the East supporters, the next game was lost to North by a ont'point defeat, 18-19. This game was lost on account of the basket-shooting, which was not quite up to its usual standard.
In the final game, which wa with Wet, East had its regular line-up on the floor and played the best game of the year. Nel on and Pat
Lamborn did orne effective work in thi contest, while Dimmitt and the forwards were piling up a score. Dimmitt showed up well in shooting
baskets. East won, 36-2 7. Taken as a whole, the season was successful. East tied for the city championship with South and had one
player make a forward on the all-star team, John Jordan. The season ended with a game at Colorado prings, where our team lost to the
pring Hi.
Much credit is due to the coaching of Mr. Puffer. The fellows who were out for the team but did not make their letter, also helped the
first team greatly. Tho e who received letters were Westergreen, Dimmitt, Nelson, Lamborn, Adams, Manager Jordan and Captain Anderson. Pat Lamborn was elected captain for next year.

Each year there is greater enthu 1a m for tennis than the year
before. Overflowing crowds gathered at the courts, at the u ual
place, Eleventh and herman, to w1tness the fall tournament and
encourage their favorites. Thirty-five boys, who were in fine condition, entered, each one eager to win.
Every match was fought out to a finish . It was impo sible to
know the winner until the last point was played. A the tournament
came to a close, such stars as Dimmitt, Douglas, Fleming, Babcock,
parhawk, and C'harle , could be seen struggling for honors.
Those who received monogram were:

�On every athletic team in a high school or college there are certain members who distinguish themselves by the way they go through
a season. And so it is with the athletic squads at our school. Every
member of the different teams must be a good consistent player, but
even though they all are proficient, there are always those who go a
little further and lead the leaders.
Below is a list of the athletes at East Denver High who have so
distinguished themselves as to make the various all-star teams of the
city. In looking over these all-star athletes, there is one who can
well be pointed to as the "all-star-all-star" athlete of the school,
John Jordan. Special mention is also due to Keith Clark, who was
the individual star in the city track and field meet last year.

A I eigl,t o'clock on the eventng of the I th and 19th of February the audtences tn the Assembly
Room were entertained by the German play, whtch made many hits during its performance.
ltl:oug ...
the play was in a foreign language, a synopsis enabled all to understand .
The first hit of the evening was A11nes, otherwise Vera Gustafson, the "little goose of Buchenau.''
Pretty in her e\ery movement, she mtg!!t well have been the girl whom two, or even more, suitors
would seek . Equally as well sutted to her role was Lela Cronin, Agnes' grandmother. Yet we must
confess thai we ne\er knew she could worry so much or weep so many tears as she did over her dear
grandchild. Baron von Buchenau, the "gross papa," was ideally portrayed by Eugene Friedheim.
His fa ' thful sen ani, Jakob, was perfectly impersonated by Gus lave eumann, with his blunt German
way . Oh, Paul Freeman, you vtllain, so cool , so refined; you deceivmg von Silbering, you shall at
last meet your doom, and lose the golden apple of your schemes.
nd now our hero, tall, fatr and
strong. Perhaps he ts a ltttle uncouth, and ignorant, thts Simple country character of Von Fink, but
everyone who saw him will agree that Gross Smith made a fine hero. We all liked to see htm win
fair Agnes. This lively affair was intensely enjoyed by the audience, and the efforts of Miss Sternberg
were well repaid .

Qtougrr !IB-tl iurrua
A short watt of len minutes, and we see before us a heart-breakmg, side-aching comedy, "The
Tyranny of Tears.' Oh, Mabel, stop your crying! Who was Mabel? She was the tearful, tyrant
wtfe of Mr . Parbury. Ed ith Fairchild brought thiS character weepmgly before our eyes. The poor
vichm of her tears was Mr . Parbury, Jo!!n Carter, a veritable author, whose poor hair was "smoothed
when he'd rather it was roughed , and roughed when he'd rather it was smoothed." John made us pity,
but at the •a me time, condemn him; pity htm for his hard luck. condemn him for his weak will.
Fmally a leswn is taught Mrs. Parbury, but tt is not the lesson but the teacher who enchants the
sympathrzing audience . ThiS teacher is Miss Woodward, thirteenth daughter of a small-town clergy man . This role 15 played by ever-smiling Dorothy Andrews. Gunning, an old college friend of Parbury's, proves the trouble maker, boasting of his "independe nce." But, Ah! He, too, falls, under the
caphvating eyes of Miss Woodward, Parbury's stenographer, and 15 the "lucky man.'' He is Moreland Humphreys. Colonel
rmitage, the wtdowed father of Mrs.
Parbury, was the fun of the play. As Donald Harley's deep voice and rotundity were much concerned about his freedom "since he regained his liberty." Willa
Ferns lakes the part of the "Frenchy" maid, and Kenneth Shaw portrays the butler, "H'Evans," with his h'English h'accent, and a London fog tn h15 nose .
As a parting word we must remember Mr . Pitts success, the greatest of all h .. plays, and render our thanks to him a thousand fold . Do not let us forget the
'Manager" (with his kindly helpers), Stentorian Tom Harvey, who assured us "full houses," regardless of cost of time and energy.

�Along about the middle of November, we received the interesting news that the last year's Annual Board had left as its memento to the
class of '16, a debt. We made it a point of honor to pay this, so the executive committee began planning a way to raise the money necessary.
They decided to have an evening devoted to the one-time (and as the result showed, still), popular diversion of roller skating.
o East Denver, individually and collectively, rummaged the attic and brought forth from among the other relics of its childhood days, a
pair of roller skates and- practiced.
On
ovember 26, 1915, East Denver departed for the Broadway rink, where it showed off its newly-acquired ability, and had a jolly
good time. Everybody and his little sister enjoyed themselves immensely; and last, but not least, the committee cleared sixty-five dollars.
o gratifying were the results of the first skate to everyone concerned, that the executive committee was requested to give another.
ow
since the Annual Board never has more money than it can use, the second skate was given for the benefit of your Annual. This came off on
February 25, 1916, also at Broadway rink. Thirty-one dollars and ten cents from this helped to make the Annual a succe s.

Under the auspices of the Univer ity of olorado, a tate Debating Contest has been inaugurated among all the High chools of
the tate. The member of the team are cho en from the chool at
large, both gtrls and boy being eligible, by a committee of teachers,
who judge at a preliminary debate.

"Re olved that Capital Puni hment be abolished in the State of
olorado," was the subject for debate. The East Denver team
sustained the affirmative of the question, and after one of the most
hotly conte ted debate ever held in Boulder, East Denver lost the
debate.

The Elimination y tern governs this conte t and one defeat disqualifies the school from further participation.

The fir t of these debates was held between outh Denver and
East D enver. East Denver being repre ented by Rollin Whitehead,
Frank D eis, and Marcell Koeneke.
"Re olved that there hould be a tate Board of
rbitration
with Compulsory Powers to settle all Labor Di putes." The East
Denver T earn v ry ably supported the negative of this question and
were awarded the d ecision. This victory kept East D enver in the
race.
BOULDER-EA T DE
ER DEBATE
The econd debate of this series in which East Denver took part
was held early in the spring at Boulder.
The team originally was composed of Frank Deis, Ernest
Trattner, and Marcell Koeneke. Unfortunately for East Denver,
Frank Deis wa taken ill the night before the debate, placing a big
handicap upon the team. His place was taken by Sam Wall of.

The Triangle Debate is, by far, the BIG debate of the year.
Every year there are between twenty-five and thirty ongressmen
fighting for a place on one of the teams. The keen and friendly
competition among the members was increased this year by a prize
of five dollars in gold, knuwn as the Beckhart Prize, offered to each
member of the ongress team or team , which come out victorious.
This year ongress was represented by James Field and John
Carter in Pueblo, while Gordon Lindsey and Howard Vickery composed the home team which debated Canon City.
The question for debate was, "Resolved that an embargo should
be placed on the exportation of arms and munitions of war to belligerents." The Pueblo team upheld the negative of the question
and won hands down. The affirmative was upheld by the home
team and was beaten by anon City only after a hard and interesting
discussion.

�The Minerva Literary Soc1ely of the East Denver High School is composed
of about one hundred and fifly g1rls, whose obJect IS lo prachce the arl of expression and lo obtain a beller knowledge of general 1op1cs.
Meehngs are held every other Thursday afternoon of the school year. The
programs are always extremely interesting, and are somehmes followed by a business meeting.
orne of the people, whose lives and works have been studied th •s
year are 0 . llenry, MacDowell, and Michel
ngelo. At one meehng George
Bernard Shaw's play, "The Man of Destiny," was presented. There are usually
some mus1cal numbers, a dance or a reading, and always the Minerva Journal.
The program comm1llee tries to arrange the programs in such a way that each
g1rl may take pari at least once during the year.
ew members are adm111ed in September and February and are inihated at
a party and dance g1ven them by the older members.
Congreu joms Minerva twice each year, once in a party and dance, and
once in giving a play. The Minena luncheon is also an annual affair. This
year it is lo be held in Daniels and Fishers Tea Room . The girls always enjoy
a lovely lunch and a very pleasant afternoon.
Besides its real purpose, I am sure Minerva has done for other girls what it
has for me, g1ven them the opportumty of knowing some of the finest girls at East
Denver.

�On a certain Friday night (about 9 : 30) I had left the East
ide High chool and was wandering past the new Federal building.
when a well-dressed gentleman came towards me. He seemed to
know me but I did not remember his face until he told me his name.
Then I recalled a visit from him while he was in Denver about five
years ago.
He took me up to his hotel. It was in the lnbby that he first
mentioned Congress in connection with his school day~ in Denver.
When I told him that I had been present at a meeting of Congress
that very evening. be became even more interested. "I shall never
forget Congress," he said. "it was the foundation of my success as a
lawyer. If I have accomplished anything in the business world. I
have felt that Congress gave me my ambition and, at least. my start
in my career."
But he was not yet satisfied.

I told him that Congress had been very active this year.

besides the annual party. it had given a play. "The Tyranny of
Tears." with the Minerva Literary

I also told him how the

senators, Field and Carter, had won the Triangular debate at Pueblo
and at the same time the Beckhart prize of five dollars each.
"But," he said. after I had told about the debates, "you have
not forgotten about the banquet, have you?"
Upon tl,is ~uggestion, I assured him that, with John Carter, as
toastmaster, we were going to give a splendid banquet.
On departing, he expressed his earnest wish and desire that

In general school activities the Forum take a leading part. The Stevens Contest was won for our school by Ernest R. T rattner. Marcel Koeneke and Rollin Whitehead represented the Forum in the District High chool Debate between South and East. Again two of our

�The purpose of the Girls' Debating lub is to enable its members to express their thoughts in a clear and forceful way, in a debating style. It trains its members to think logically, clearly, and
above all justly. We cannot pay a tribute to our critic, Miss
Kennan, which will adequately express our love and thanks to her for
what she has done for us. If we are true-minded, wide-awake citizens, we give her all the credit.
A debate between the Forum and our Club was held on April
7th, in the Assembly room, at 3 p. m. The subject of debate was,
"Resolved that the United tates adopt the literacy test for all European Immigrants." The negative was upheld and won by our Club,
represented by Jane Allen, Margaret Haggott, and Ruth Sherrell.
The Forum was represented by Randall O'Neil, Walter Rath, and
David Tannenbaum.

�The German Club for advanced German students, has had a
very successful and enjoyable year. Its members have done everything to help make it one of the most substantial organizations of
East Side High School. The popularity of the club is well shown
by the membership. Eighty boys and girls answer the roll call at
every meeting. However, in spite of the large membership, the
school, as a whole, knows little about the real doings of the society.
At every meeting a skillfully selected program is presented under
the supervision of Miss ternberg, founder of the "Verein." It
usually consists of one or two essays, musical recitations, humorous
and serious dialogue, and a song in unison. All conversation and
business is carried on in German. The meeting over, all adjourn
to the lower regions (meaning the basement cafeteria), where refreshments are served. It was once suggested that pretzels and root
beer be served, but the American appetite of our pseudo-T eutons
could not reconcile itself to such an alliance.
The next day the program is discussed and criticised in the class
room. Taken all in all, the German Club is without doubt one of
the most potent educational factors at East Denver, as well as a source
of enjoyment socially.

"Accuracy First, Last and Always"
During the past few years the nece ity for organization among
the students of the Typewriting and horthand Departments has
been recognized by both the faculty and the tudents. It was with
this in view, that several tudents, under the guidance of Miss L. L.
trickier, organized the 0. A. W .
The feature of this club are chiefly to promote accuracy, efficiency and speed in Typewriting and horthand. Many members
have already attained that degree of efficiency which has enabled
them to win Gold Medals for speed and a curacy on the Typewriter.
Realizing the value of the knowledge required in practical business, the club has, at various meetings, invited prominent business men
to peak on many elements neces ary for a successful stenographer.

�Do you doubt, my dear sir, there are others as true,
As noble, almost a good-looking as you?
Then cheer up! The world to the dogs cannot go,
. s long as this happy condition is so.

Then what's the use of being pe imistic?
'Tis better to be counted altruistic!
Don't knock! 'Tis not worth while,
Boo t things upward with a smile,
To most every cloud's a side that's luministic.

130

nd, dear madam, the ill you so sadly berate,
The ills so unjustly assigned you by fate,
Tho' unpleasant, they still have the merit, I'm told,
Of turning the dross in your nature to gold.

When other days have come and gone,
In our memone still shall he,
Fond recollections of our dear
Beloved and only High.
Our school days shall we then recall,
And ponder each one o'erThe lessons learned, the merry times,
Of days that are no more.
Then here's to dear old Ea t Denver,
The greatest school on earth!

Oh sandwich, lonely on the floor,
Last, lone, remnant of the maddening crush.
Your snowy whiteness marred by feet
That, disrespectful, tread you in the dust;
Your owner, sorrowing to his seat
Goes, angry at the passing fork
That speared you from his careless hand.

Our Alma Mater shall we love,
'Twas she who gave us birth.
And when her sons and daughters part
To some far distant clime,
May we pu h on our work begun
Until the end of time.

How dingy your countenance, and sad,
Lying on the unswept floor,
While all around you, to the door
Lie crumbs of morsels, well enjoyed.
Alas! what black pest is that I see?
A fly! A fly!
Your doom is sealed,
Oh! Last lone sandwich on the floor!
fRA CE

The Red and White we'll ne'er forget
As long as we are here;
We'll work for her while still we can,
In memory hold her dear.

Oh! have you heard the late t news?
aid Mrs. . to me,
I have not gossiped once today,
And now we'll have a pree.
You know that woman?
he's a cat,
ot in my class at all !
And Mrs. D . told me today ~
I can't believe it all!
But Mr . D., she told to me,
And don't you dare repeat it!
That Mrs. B. drinks in her teaPs! ps! could you believe it?
And Mrs. B., she dotes on tea!
I think it out of fashion,
And nothing now but Columbine
Will satisfy my passion.
Oh, mercy me! and there's the bell!
That hussy, Mrs. B. Why Mrs. B. your looking well,
And how you flatter me
By calling at my humble home,
And won't you have some tea?
Why, no, I can't go calling now,
I've company, you see!

DOPED TEA
And now she' s gone, we'll talk some more
Oh, must you so soon meander?
That Mrs. B., she makes me mot sore,
I'll put nothing beyond her!
I am so glad you came around, and
Found me home to-day,
And don't you tell a single oul
What you have heard me say!
Wearily I took my leave
To see another friend .
Quietly we drank our tea,
A most delight{ ul blend.
But Mrs. B. soon happened in,
Just to say "Hello."
We welcomed her with opened arms;
he stayed a while to sew.
I do not care for any tea,
I'll just sit down and chat;
I've cut out tea with sugar in,
It does make one so fat!
So Mrs. C. was wrong again
As to tea with Manna,
And from now on, for gossiping,
Amen !-so help me Hannah!

HIE'S PLEA

A moment, Mr . Barrett,
Please, if you can spare it,
Of your valuable time.

Mr. Pitts thinks I'm bright
Enough to make light,
A proof of the darkest kind.

It injures my vanity,
And looks like profanity,
This 0
of mine.

Though my hosiery's red,
I am sure what he said
Referred to my mind.

Although Miss owperthwaite
Says I'm no heavyweight,
Mentally speaking, of course.

If I tried I ought

I've passed with some ease
Through many narrow C's,
And this takes mental force.

If you'd let me flunk,

M1ss Kennan thought
To be her pride and joy.
o I'd think it punk
For I'm a real nice boy.

YOU CAN'T FORGET
You may win a stack of honors
In the land of foreign cenes,
You may have your name emblazoned
In the books and magazines;
But you can't forget the old days,
The days of work and play,
pent together at East ide High,
When the world was young and gay.
You may travel in all luxury
O'er thi land, and others, too ;
You may know the greatest plea ures,
And of troubles, just a few;
But you can't forget the old days
When you wore the colors, red and white,
And sang the praise of East Side High
With great glory and delight.

Where the lunches are the finest,

�"FARE WELL, JOHN BARLEY OR
Good-bye to you and yours, old scout,
I guess you're just about knocked out.
You've lived a long, long time, you know,
But a day comes when each must go.
Your turn has come now, I suppose,
'Twon't be long ere your eyes you close.
Your each intention might be line,
Yet at your bier no tears of mine
Will lind their way to mourn for you;
The curses you've sent are not few.
Ho;nes, once filled with happine s,
Where all with God's pure light were blessed,
Are broken, and they live no more.
The cause of this lies at your door.
The youthful man, who knew not sin,
With best prospects spread before him
Encountered you one dreary night;
'Twas then you blew out hope's bright light.
And now, the life that might have been
Is empty, lean, and sickly thin,
You've led a life of lawless ruin;
You've sucked life's blood with merry tune.
You cared not who, or when, or why.
o now, old cout, you've got to die.
While some may follow in your wake
And mourn; clear water shall I take.
And then in words w clear and loud,
That they will reach each heav'nly cloud,
I'll hail your death a blessing true,

Or merely "hit the hay."

BETTER IF THEY DIDN'T MARK THEM

Trees are those thing that do well on your neighbor's lawn, but
won't raise more than a leaf or two when you plant some on your
lawn.

Be it resolved that the faculty use red ink hereafter in marking
our quarter-cards, in view of the fact that even the girls, after a long
illness, receive a black "i" at the end of the quarter.

Trees are found everywhere, but most of them are found in the
woods.
ix trees make a forest, three make a grove, and one tree
make a man di gusted, when he is trying to rai e an orchard. There
are everal different kinds of tree , notable among which are apple,
peach, beechnut, weeping willow, and family trees. There is no
better tree than the apple tree unless it i two apple trees.
The peach tree is one whose roots go far back into antiquity and
produce a fruit that looks like neither her father nor her mother, and
of whom the envious say they can't see what men can like about her.
The peach tree thrives best in parks and on the seashore and
produces a fruit known as the "date."
Beechnuts don't grow on the beaches despite the fact that many
nuts are found there. Weeping willows grow down in the dumps.

HOW COULD YOU BE

0 CRUEL?

Mr. Pitts told his fir t hour class that he had directions to send
them to "H."
Oh, the future is before us
All the happy summer long,
But a thought comes in to sadden
And hu h our joyous ong.
For before the fruits be gathered
We must see the blossoms fall;
And examinations, schoolmates,
Are the saddest times of all.
MARIO

CowGILL.

The family tree is really largely a vegetable, because after a
few generations it produce a "dead beat." We could name several
other trees, but we fear you'd be ycamore.
(Many a man has died
for want of a better pun than that.) A fruit is three-fourths pulp
and one-fourth worm. There is only one thing we hate to find in
any fruit we bite into besides a worm, and that's half a worm.

At thoughts of meeting Mr. Pitts.
It's not because his somewhat beLigerent hospitality

Me out for running in the hall.

Mr. Pitts' Virgil class came to the sentence, "Equo ne credite,"
which means, translated, "Trust not in the horse." "I hope," said
Mr. Pitts, "That you will all heed this warning." They didn't see
it for some time!
What an appropriate nickname.

"Pop" is for Mr. Cannon.

HOW

A woodpecker ht on a Freshman's head,
And settled down to drill,
He bored away more than half the dayAnd finally broke his bill.

"It's all over the whole school," watled Ken.
"What?" cried the excited Freshman.
"Why, the roof, of course!"

WHEW!
Elizabeth Drake-"I don't know how to express myself."
Miss Chase-"Try parcel post."

Mr. Pitts is responsible for this one:
A man entered one of the thinly partitioned rooms of a hotel.
He sat down, noisily flung off a shoe, and commenced to make preparations for retiring.
The man in the next room breathed in agonized suspension for
a few moments. Finally he could bear it no longer.
"For the love of Mike," he yelled, "throw off the other one and
let me go to sleep!"
Mr. Pitts says the man only had one leg.

"How long were you in Brazil?" asked Bill Robinson of Mr.
Bethel.
"Why, the same height I am now! One's height is never
affected by climate, you know."
There was some confusion in evidence the time Mr. Barrett
a ked us to give a D. H. S. for T uskeegee.
Our Editor-in-Chief usually has pie for lunch. It has been
remarked that if the bites he takes are much larger he will be like an
early Colorado settler. Why? Pioneer.
Miss Kennan-"Why did Comus choose the disguise of a
shepherd?''
Orlando S.-"Because he wanted to get the lady's goat."

A NEW COIN
"Say, Fred," said Tom Harvey, "have you seen the new
buffalo quarters? They're swell."
"Why, I didn't know they were making any," said Fred Wood.
"Yes, they're out at the City Park."
Editor's Note-Fred Wood was heard to say to someone el e
later: "Say, have you seen the new quarters for buffaloes?"

"TRIG"
Logarithms and cosines, with more work than enough
Give the tiniest chance for "running a bluff."
But now as I've lasted that half year through,
With all of my knowledge, pray, what shall I do?

POEM

Mr. Bethel promised us a poem. This is what we received:
Mary Ann
Kitchen fire
Kerosene can
Golden lyre.
Many thanks, Mr. Bethel, many thanks.
Please follow this carefully, some don't seem to be able to
understand it. Why is Mr. Barrett, upon leaving his office at the
close of school. like Miss ] ohnson giving instructions to a plumber?
(Answer) - Because there i a picare que prolixity (licks at
he).
Editor's
ote- If you are unable to fathom this we wJI] be
glad to give you private instruction. But first thin/~ it over.
Editor's Note- We've saved "the most unkmdest cut of all"
for the very last. We thank you, one and all, for reading through
this literary hash (review of reviews), before giving it to you- there
might be no one to thank afterwards.
Why is a perfectly good cow that was left to mother by a dear
friend who shot him elf in the Adam's apple with a dill pickle, like
one of the largest cities in Rus ia?

Charles-Gee, I wish he'd hurry!
(Exit teacher.)
Mr. Walters- Well, harles, now what?
Charles (wearily) - Miss ] ackson sent me here for talking.
Mr. Walters- Why were you talking? What about?
Charles-About my lessons. I asked her for permission, and
she refused. I had to know where the place was, Mr. Walters, so
I could study my history.
Mr. Walters- Why didn't you know in the first place?
Charles-You see, Mr. Fox kept me talking about some argument in English, yesterday, after class. That's third hour. And
I have history fourth hour, and Mr. ]ones always assigns the lessons
before beginning the recitation.
o when I got to class late, I
couldn't get it.
Mr. Walters- Why didn't you get it after class?
Charles-! was trying to work up my note-book, and I forgot
about history until today.
Mr. Walters- When did Miss Jackson send you here?
harles (glancing at clock) - First hour this morning.
Mr. Walters-It's a little after twelve now. Charles, you
know it's against the rules to talk, especially when the teacher has
refused permission. You know that.
Charles- Yes, sir.
Mr. Walters- Now, Charles, I don't want you to do this again.
Do you understand? Go see Miss ] ackson, and fix it up. And
hereafter get your assignments on time.
harles- Yes, sir.

Charles- Don't know, sir.
Mr. Jones- What's the trouble? Didn't you study 1t?
Charles- No, sir.
Mr. jones-See me after class. (Fifteen minutes pass. Bell

Mr. jones- See here, Charles, I told you a week a~o that one
more failure would give you "D" for the quarter. You fa1led today,
therefore you know the result.

Charles- ! didn't have a chance to study 1t, s1r. I was m the
office, and as I didn't know the lesson, I couldn't study it. You see,
I came to class late yesterday, and missed it.
Mr. Jones-So I remember. Why didn't you ask someo~e_?
Charles- ! did. That's why I went to the office.
(Smilmg
grimly.) It doesn't matter, sir. Do as you think best about it.
(Indifferently.) I can't help it now, anyway.
Mr. jones- I'm afraid not. It will have to be a "D," Charles.
Better watch out hereafter.
Charles- Yes, sir. (Goes toward door; meets Will coming
in.)
Will-What's up?
Charles-Everything's down.
Will-Wha'd'you mean, down?

AN APPEAL FOR TIME
0, shade of Franklin, most famous of men,
Come now and guide my faltering pen.
Miss Kennan, in English, wise and great,
Bids me my history relate.
Frank! in, I ask it now of you,
In such a strait what can I do?
I've never written an almanac,
The talent, alas, I seem to lack.
With a key and a string and a kite on h1gh,
I've never drawn lightning from the sky.
Then, too, I'm not a diplomat,
I never tried my hand at that.
But if Miss Kennan will only wait,
Perhaps I'll too some day be great,
Admiral, poet or president,
Of the White House a resident.
Then on every shelf she'll see
"Randell's Auto-biography."
RussELL RA DELL.
WAT H YOUR STEP!
(Have you ever done anything like this?)
The beautiful theatre was crowded with hundreds more than it
could hold.
An additional number of sentinels are to be placed in City Park
to prevent the robberies which happened last winter.
Account of steamer accident. - "The only pa sengers were
athan, who owned three-fourths of the cargo and the captain's wife."
This is the "Health in Nature" sy tern for the cure of di ea es
developed by Dr. A. T. anden.

��3Ju il~moriam
iliss (!lora B. ~owprrt~waitr
one of the most loved teachers of East Denver, passed away December 3, 1916. Although she had been ill for some time, the news
of her death came as a decided shock to the whole school. Miss
Cowperthwaite was well known in Denver, as she began teaching
here in 1886. She taught at various grammar schools and high
schools, and spent the last few years at East Denver. Her subjects
were French and German, which she had studied during her six years
abroad. She attended Wellesley College, and had a degree from
the University of hicago. The faculty and pupils of the school miss
Miss Cowperthwaite and her influence very much. She will long be
remembered for her loving services to East Denver, and although she
has passed on, her work is still living and will bear fruit in after years.

It was cold that night of December 27th, but how could that
affect three hundred happy couples on their way to the largest dance
of the year? Everyone was in the holiday spirit, as it was only two
days after Christmas, and the unusual amount of "pep" and real
spirit our class has was shown again.
The dance was held at El ] ebel Temple, which was decorated
with the school and class colors. The programs were brown leather
with gold cords, and the music ?-well, that was the best in town.
Altogether the affair was so successful that it added more than one
hundred dollars to the class treasury.

We were all in our roughing clothes, yep, even our President, and we were bound for--oh, some place where the train was
going; it didn't make much difference, you know, just so it went.

end of the train we reached our destination. Then more pictures.
When we reached our camping place- oh, yes, we had to walk, and
it was hot- we all thankfully relieved our elves of our packs, as
it was terribly hard to keep them in one coherent piece. We had
coffee and "wienies" for lunch, and we were some famished bunch of
eniors. We ate enough "wienies" to supply the German army
for a month.
Those of us who were of a more ambitiou and energetic nat~re then essayed to conquer the mighty works of nature, but we
didn't get far, for tho e mountain are both high and steep, and that's
a pretty formidable opposition as some found out, so we wandered
down to the creek.
The day pas ed swiftly, as such days will, and soon the crowd
assembled. Finally we boarded the train and ettled into those soft
seat - uch a relief! We were a tired crowd, but were still able
to sing (?) and holler a bit, and after fifteen miles of continuou
din we pulled into Denver.

Three years ago we entert&gt;d East ide High chool a body of
happy, energetic boys and girls. That was in 191 4.
ince that
time we have developed into the best class that ever entered East
Denver.
While we were Freshmen we learned many things, chief of
which was our own ignorance and unimportance.
In the interval between eptember, 1914, and eptember, 1915,
we grew admirably, both mentally and physically, and, as became
our station, we were treated with much more re pect than formerly.
This year we are known as "the brilliant Junior class."

The following scene might take place in any home which boasts
a daughter of high school age. The place is the breakfast table.
Father is at the head, mother at the foot, behind the coffee pot; the
two boys and unt Bernice on either side, and one empty chair.

"Oh, you neYer will see my point of 'iew about that," daughte1
sighs.
ay, is, you've got too much powder on the side of your
nose," little brother puts in aggravatingly. Daughter dobs at the
offending feature with her handkerchief.
"I think that you have a little too much on your chin, too, dear,"
mother objects. "I do di like to see young girls w1th their faces all
covered with powder."

ha ty step is heard in the hall, and daughter enters and slips
unobtru i\ely into her chair.
"You're a little late for breakfast, dear," ays her mother reprovingly.

Daughter sighs, but says nothing.
he has learned that silence
is the be t policy in treating that question.
"What have you done to your hair, child?" asks father curiously.

"Ye , mother, I know; I'm orry, but it took me longer lo dress
than usual." This from the daughter as she unfolds her napkin.
"Huh, I don't see why it should take you so long to dress; you
haven't got enough on lo keep you warm," scoffs big brother, between
bites.

" he got that peeled onion effect from the movie she saw last
night, didn't you, i ?" inquires little brother.

"I think Tom i quite right, Margaret," ays Aunt Bernice
critically. "Your throat i positively blue with cold."

"I alway have liked the way your mother used to do her hair.
he might show you how she fixed it," ugge ts father mildly.
"I've got a bird' -eye view of little sister with her pair parted
in the middle," big brother mutters quite audibly.
Daughter pushe back her chair and rises, flushed and angry.
"I wish I could shave all my hair off and wear a mattress," she erie
desperately, "then, perhap , you all would be satisfied!" and she runs
out into the hall.

"Oh, nonsen e,
unt Bernice. I'm not the least bit cold,"
a erts daughter. "How do you like my waist, mother, on me, I
mean?" she ask .
"Very much; that shade of yellow always was becoming to

"Really, Helen, that child grows more unreasonable every day,"
unt Bernice complains. "I thought you were going to speak to her
about the length of that skirt."

"That's ju t the point, Margaret," mother and Aunt Bernice cry
in choru . "Why don't you be original in the way you dress?"

As the voices reach her, daughter gives her hal pin a vicious jab,
and runs to catch her car.

"I houldn't think you'd want to look like everybody else,"
mother adds.

army which had a German left wing, a Latin right, an advance guard
of Algebra, and an aeroplane corps of English.

For the econd encounter we were transferred to the main battlefield, where we registered as ophomore re-enforcements. H ere we
wc::re placed under generals who were ~evere, but very tolerant of
our mistakes. We waged many battles with Composition and R hetoric, and Geometry hili was well fortified with originals and corollaries, so that we suffered many a defeat (with a capital D ) before
the conflict ceased. We again met with the forces of H istory under
different commanders of strict d iscipline. Those of us w ho tried
to profit by resar' s experience in the Gallic wars were hopele sly
lost. W e did not understand his methods of attack.

In the first battle of the "f. rosh" a few fell, for the field wa;
rough with Latin pits and entanglements.
It was r.o light task to
push through the English barracks built of personal pronour.s, unity,
coherence and emphasis. But with the constant prodding and e,couragement of our capable officers we galloped past those obst3cles
victoriously.

W e found the second year of the campaign filled with many
profitable ad\entures, ar.d ~ ·e feel better me!! tally equipped for
entering upon the next yrar of cholastic war. W~en we emerge O'l
commencement day all of us hope to be a d orned with a med al of

��1918
When Ea t Denver opened her door last eptember for the
clas of 1920 to enter, she experienced a shock. The halls and
room were flooded with a radiance which bade fair to rival the sun,
which was shining brilliantly outside. Whence came this glory?
It was issuing from her Freshmen (more commonly referred to as
scrub ) . Each youthful face was glowing with expectation and
uppres ed wisdom. They fairly knocked each other down in their
efforts to get in and get everythiPg arranged.
orne ran around the third floor in a vain attempt to find room
210 and then appealed to some self-satisfied Sophomore, who told
them that perhaps, 1f they lool{ed on the second floor they would see
the number two hundred and ten emblazoned over the door. Other
circled around the ba ement trying to find the reference library in
the girl ' lunch room and received a cold "Look in I 09" in answer
to their . 0.
They finally did settle down to really honest,
hard work. They've kept at it, too. If one of tho e brilliant
Junior would take a peep at some of the Fre hmen cards, he'd
discover that they had made as many "A's" for one quarter's work
as he had acquired for his entire Freshman year. Perhaps then he'd
feel a little respect for those scrubs. The.?' intend to keep on work-

ing for the entire four years, too, until they have won all the scholarships and anything else that can be won. The school board may
even have to invent something new for them to tackle. Thelma
Kauffman has received honorable mention in the Wolcott contest.
he would have won it, too, if Lydia Begole had only been a little
les brilliant in such things.
At the partie given this year by the Welfare Committee some
of the Freshmen danced so splendidly that they brought blushes of
shame to the upper classmen and made them turn green with envy.
Of course I'll admit that they haven't many tiny little "babe
in arm " like Tom Freeman, or Merwm Mitterwallner, but they
have several large huskie who really ought to have been allowed to
play football this year. They can play in a year or two, though,
and you ju t watch East Denver's football team in 1920 get the
championship again.

��This building was already old when E. D. H. was built;
just think of it! Was old when even "Remy" was a boy.

Latin school. the ancient and honorable, was erected with the
first coming of the white man; and the memory of the oldest graduate
of the E. D. H. S. runneth not to the contrary.
We, the scholars, may be Fresh, but our honorable school has
tradition and dust, memories and rickety stairs, history and wornout
steps, as no other school in all Denver has. The little old lamp of
learning, erected in the dark ages, still burns under the eaves-a
rather solid flame, to be sure, but the spirit of the old place is there
and the spirits of departed teachers and innumerable pupils seem to
sigh through the cracks when the wind blows, and drift about us in
the dust raised by many feet. The creaking stairs, the loose floor
boards, the worn steps, all speak of other times, while the roar of the
auto, the smell of gasoline and oil, seem an insult to this old place
of learning.

o if we seem a little crude,

If some of us are somewhat rude,
If we're not strictly up to date,
And cannot always strike the gait
You older pupils do;
Just consider wher:ce we come,
That for us it's going some
To even get our pictures took
And have them printed in a book
Along with such as you.

�ssembly in the lower hall is very trying for all concerned.
The Annual Board would like to suggest that another year some plan
might be thought of which would make it unnecessary to use the hall
in future for opening exercises.

Many noted men have poken to u during the four years of
our High chool course, and we of the Annual Board want to thank
Mr. Barrett in behalf of the school for getting the e gentlemen to
peak to us. We have been ver fortunate, as we have heard from
men prominent as educators, politicians, individualists, and investigator . These men in a great number of ca es have spoken to students
in the Ea t ide High chool only, and it was due to the zeal of
Mr. Barrett that we heard them. Their messages have been helpful
and inspiring, and let us hope that our principal will continue to have
such men speak to t~e students whene.,er there is an opportunity.

Each year it has been the custom of the enior Class of East
Denver to make a gift to the school. This year we believe the class
hould give the school some stage fittings, scenery and any other things
which would facilitate the giving of a play. Twice every year it has
been the duty of Mr. Pitts to beg, borrow or steal these various stage
accessories; and to get them up and in order has been a great task .
We advocate such a gift, although the class may have to co-operate
with another to procure all the necessary equipment. The name of
the class may not appear on a little bronze plate where everyone may
read it, but neverthele s our gift would give enjoyment to the whole
school.

The call has come for boys to aid in the production of food
upplies, and East Denver has not been found lacking. When boys
of Ea t Denver are called upon to bear arms for their country, there
will be a similar re ponse. That time has not yet come for those who
remain in the school. It will soon come to tho e who graduate.
orne
may be called on this year and some the next, but the call will surely
come to all of them. They will not be found wanting in defending
their nation, and all the knowledge gained at East ide will serve them
in this task. As the boys in the lower classes p:1. , then graduate,
they, too, will be summoned.
ow is the time to be preparing- the
more experience a boy has, the better he can serve his country. Our
cadet system helps to train boys to fight. But the mental activity that
comes from translating Latin and doing Algebra is helping to make
them think quickly and is helping to make the kind of a man who doe
the right thing at the right time in the trenches. It is the duty of the
boys who stay at home to do their be t in preparing them elves for the
fight that will come.

The lengthening of our working day ten minute has caused
quite a disturbance among the pupils of the school. On those who
mu t be at work by 3:00 o'clock, or who have to go to the bank, such
an arrangement imposes a number of hardships. If we could go back
to the old four-minute intermissions it would again be possible to close
at 2:35. The difficulty lies in the congestion at the main doors of the
two big study halls. If pupils would pass in and out at the right of
the door in Room 2 I 0, and u e the main door of I 08 in going out,
and the cloak hall door in entering, much of thi confusion would be
avoided and o would help us to regain tr e precious ten minutes at the
close of chool.

�The football season opened the econd week of school with
thirty-five men out for the team, including the seven letter menCaptain Mitterwallner, Me utcheon, Lamborn, Ward, Holland,
Briggs, and Freeman. There was much rivalry for the other positions, but Reeder, humaker, Allen, and Vickery showed such marked
ability that they earned the places on the team.
The championship series opened with outh Denver. At the
end of the half the score stood 7 to 0 in favor of outh Denver. But
in the last half East came back with her old fighting spirit and won
the game by a score of 1 3 to 7.
The second championship game was with We t. The team
went into the game over-confident and allowed West to make two
touchdowns before she realized what had haprened. But in ti-e
last half East made two touchdowns, but failed to kick goal, leaving the final score 1 3 to 12 .
This defeat seemed to be the stimulus that was needed to urge
them on to the championship, for the team practiced with a new vim
for the next two weeks. Our usual Thanksgiving game resulted
in an overwhelming victory for the Angels. From the first, Manual
seemed outclas ed, as Ea t made a touchdown in the first five minute

of play. In this game Goldie, playmg his first full game, showed up
in fine form in the fullba k po ition. The individuals who tarred
were Captain Mitterwallner, humaker, Holland, and Goldie.
The · orth game, which had been postponed on account of
snow, was played on December 9. This was the championship
game. East went into the game with odds against her on account
of her defeat by West.
Both teams were in excellent condition, and
each was determined to grab the flag.
East opened the game with
her steam-roller tactics, and by straight football and line plunges succeeded in making the first touchdown. In the last half the
ngel
were successful in making another touchdown, winning the game and
the championship by a score of I 3 to 7.
Much credit for the team's succe s is due to the excellent work

�aptain Briggs was out helping the newer men every night.
He also tied for first place in the pole vault and for third in the 220yard low hurdles.

East did not come away from the meet with first honors, but
made a good showing, nevertheless. The meet was not held on the
date originally set, on account of a bad rain, but was held a few
days later, while the track was still soft, so not many records were
broken.
Individual honor went to John "Zack" Jordan, who gathered
a total of eighteen points. Jordan won the 11 0-yard high hurdles,
tied for first place in both the pole vault and the 220-yard low
hurdles, and got second place in the broad jump and third in the
• high jump.
Williamson won the half mile race, making a new city record
of 2 :06:2. He also won second place in the mile race.

Much credit is due to Coach Hi\ll for the way in which he
handled the team, and to Manager Kni~el for the way in which he
managed the business of the team.
Ten men won their letters- Adams, Dunleavy, Briggs, Jordan,
Kelty, humaker, Hamilton, Knisel, Williamson and Dean.
Williamson was unanimously elected captain and Ladd was
chosen manager for next year's team.

had a successful season, nevertheless.
The school gave us the u e of the "Y"
tw1ce a week, where we had the be t
accommodations and facilities for practice. Coach Puffer worked faithfully,
training the fellows and teaching them
the fine points of the game. A "bunch"
of especially good material was developed for next year. The able player of the second team sometimes ran
up greater scores than the first team.
A large number attended every game,
showing that the old "East pep" never
dies, even in the face of defeat. We
had one good trip to Boulder, where
we won from the Boulder "Preps."
The men who received letters are:
Lamborn, Adams, Westergreen, White,
Hobbs, Hoyt, Archey and Phillips,
who will captain the team next year.
The scores are as follows:

Basketball Tournament this year. Our
hopes for the championship looked
bright at the first of the season, but our
veteran guard, Mabel Rem ch, left
school, thereby cripplmg our team considerably.
Our first game wa with West, in
which we lost in the last second of play,
but we won our next two games from
outh and Manual. When we met
West again we came back in our old
style, and won the game. This gave
us a clear road to the championship.
Our last game was with Manual, and
we lost. Over-confidence cau ed us to
lo e this game.
The season clo ed
with outh and East tied for second

A great deal of the success of this

The team at the beginning of the season had but four letter

Captain Cowen a winning combination, and one that East can be
proud of was turned out. The team won the first two games, but
when they met Manual, in the third contest of the season, they were

ir Robert Redd ideburns having made a mark for htmself
in the field of literature at the age of forty-two years seven month
three day and a half, to be exact, it wa altog ther fitting and
proper that His Royal Highne s should appoint ir Humphrey ilklyle, the noted pro e writer of the twentieth century, to write a short
but complete biography of the poet's life and works.
ir Humphrey ilklyle, in compliance with His Majesty's most
honored request, ucceeded in getting the biography published after a
great deal of wrangling and disputing with the bookbinders, who
manifested great sympathy towards the public.
By some strange freak of nature, ir Humphrey Silklyle's book
still remains unharmed and beloved by all reader of bad literature.
It is with the greate t plea ure, therefore, that we, the publishers, submit to the innocent public this wonderful volume of ir Humphrey
ilklyle.
In a little thatched cottage, way off amid the wild sagebrush
of cotland, one day in the year 1871, Robert Redd ideburns came
to grace the universe with his immortal presence, aye, undying fame.
He was the youngest of a family of thirteen children. His
father was a wearer of the frock, and his mother a woman of great
genius in the way of cooking and dish-washing. Both of these fond
parents devoted their pare time to the instruction of their thirteen
children.
At the age of nine the potato crop having declared generous
dividends to the ideburns, little Robert was sent to the village school
to obtain an education worthy of his already budding genius. His
only work that he gave to the world at this time was the clever
little ditty:
"Gurgle, gur le, ltttle brook,
0
How I wonder how you 'II look
When you meet the ·:&gt;cean deep,
On whose banks graze many 3heep."

The rest of this gem has been lost to a sorrowing public. The
cause: Little Robert's love for flinging round paper balls, called
spitballs in this day and age.

Whde attendmg thi mslttullon of learning, our young hero's
constitution was lightly weakened owing to the contraction of several
disea es, namely, German measles, chicken-pox, mumps, scarlet fever,
diphtheria and the like.
bout this time his parents took Robert to the country to recuperate. His imagination look Right in the form of a number of
airy doggerels, among which are, "Ode to a Blade of Grass" and
"The Pebbles That hine in the tream, T ra-la."
fter spending one quiet year in thi manner, ideburns returned to the village school.
At the age of fourteen, the fact that the potato crop again
declared dividends was hailed as a piece of right good luck. Robert
Redd ideburns was acknowledged now the brains of the family,
and the remaining twelve took a back seat m order that Robert's
talent for writing might gel a fair how.
The potato crop riche were piled at hi feet that he might
derive the benefit therefrom and he did, all right. He became a
scholar of the famou Uni\ ersity Empty-head, on the banks of tLe
Rhineube. When he wasn't enjoying life he was compiling a volume
the title of "' hich was " hoice Ver e." Fortunately, the dormitory
in which he stayed was destroyed by lire, and the unlir.ished book
with it.
ideburns was too discouraged to begin anew, so for two
years he gave him elf up to the study of the joys of life.
But a sad day descended upon the ideburns fa~ily, like unto
an eagle that swoop down upon its prey. Mr. ideburns, Robert's
father, while out in the field one day, was kicked by a mule, and,
as he had been ailing for everal years, this event only hastened his
entrance into the "happy hunting grounds."
ideburns ha tened home and took his place as head of a
family of thirteen females his mother and twelve sisters.
At this period ideburns, in a desperate frame of mind, wrote:
"Take me off lo the trenches,
nd shoot me through the head,
W1th thirteen women on my hands
I mtght as well be d~ad ."

�the offender. His Royal Temper knew no bounds, and tdebt.rns
was exiled to the Island of Saint Elbow for a period of t\•·ent)
years.
Many and beautiful are the poems sung in sad strains to the
accompaniment of the lapping waves. His most noted ones being,
"The Bats That Build Their
ests Above," and another. written
in honor of His Majesty, which ideburns had the presence of m;nd
to place in a bottle and fling far out in the sea. Just a.&lt; he had
planned, it was discovered and conveyed to the Royal Palace.
In a short time Sideburns was allowed to return to his native
country. The Queen was dead, His Majesty was very kind to him,
and not long after this crowned him poet-laureate, thus showing to the
world that no ill-feeling existed between them any longer.
Concerning the remaining years of ideburns' life, there is
little to be said. He enjoyed it to the highest degree. His Majesty
and he were the greatest of pals-they ate, drank and hunted together.
On his forty-fifth birthday a great feast was held in his honor.
Upon returning home a rainstorm overtook him. He got wet feet, and
died the next day with pneumonia. Great was the sorrow of the
land, for the country had lost its most brilliant ornament.
The poet was given a prominent place in his own home town.
His remains were placed under the shade of the one and only tree
that the churchyard could boast of.
Pilgrimages are yearly made to his tomb, and those who visit
it may read the epitaph composed shortly before his death, in Sir
Robert Redd Sideburns' own quaint, inimitable style:

(Here it would be fitting perhaps to remark that because of a
strong resemblance between ideburns' twelve sister and a deceased
great-aunt they were as yet quite single.)
However, luck, for once, took ideburns by surpnse. During the two following years in which he gave himself up to the care
of potatoes, his mother remarried this time a man of some means
and six of his sisters charmed six blind and innocent laddies.
The wedding bells rang merrily over the Sideburns homesteld.
The six remaining spinsters went to dwell with their delighted mamma,
who had moved to the city.
Thus at the age of twenty-one or thereabouts we find RobPrt
Redd Sideburns free to choose his own course. His love for gaiety
and city life led him to direct his ambitious footsteps toward the
capital.
For a year he sold shoe strings on the corner of the busiest
thoroughfare. Or.e day fate willed that ideburns should read an
"ad" in the Post. His Most Gracious Majesty was in need of a
lackey to com·ey tl-:e Royal Chocolate Pot to his bedside each mornmg. Sideburns at once aJ:plied for the job, and, as he had a pleasing
countenance, His Majesty favored him.
In this atmosphere of pomp and splendor, Sideburns' poctir;
soul know no bounds. In less than three months he had compiled
three volumes of immortal verse.
To his great distress and discomfiture, he one day let fall on tl,e
counter-pane, while attending His Majesty, a scrap of paper UJ..IOn
which were written the lines:

"Here lie my remains, as cold as cold can be.
I loved ltfe, but death too soon
My spmt caused to Ree.
May those who read thts epitaph,
httle ptty feel,
And put a few buds on my grave,
1\s by my stde they kneel."

"Fair Queen, wtth teeth ;o pearly white,
And ha~r hke fisher's net,
With hps of cherry hue,
And eyes of blackest jet,
I Lov - "

We think that the Royal Bell interrupted him at thi poit:t
At any rate the poem ended here, and His Majesty's wrath began.
It took him two minutes to learn that his lackey, ideburns, \\as

lorded it over Billy for days, screeching just outside his door (before
he had become so very sick), that "he didn't even know what a
Rag was- didn't even know what a Rag was," until he would
willingly have given five years of his life to pound Ellen until she
could screech no more! Then the Doctor came with his nurse, ard
that nune, poor soul! had been Billy's refuge. On her he had
taken out all his fretfulness when so very sick, his cr:mkine s wre'l
a little better, and now all his excess energy while he was getti · g
well.
he wa a sweet-faced and trong young woman of about
twenty-five, and her name was Mary Rath . Billy had no more
idea of eternally calling her Miss Rath than of jumping out of bed
and l~iss ing Ellen, whom he hadn't e\ en seen in all tLose weeks.
o he just called her "Ratsy." Mis Rath didn't seem to mind,
and I doubt if it would have done her any good if she had cared.
All that time Ratsy and her young charge had occupied two adjoining rooms, which were curtained off from the rest of the upstairs,
and they had become very well acquainted with each other. Last
week the Doctor had taken a culture of Billy's throat, only to return
with the verdict, "Po itive," which to Billy meant those blamed
scarlet fever bugs were still hanging 'round him, and he couldn't
leave his room for another week.
o now he sat very still. reflecting.

Billy was sitting still and thinking! Another week of torture
was almo t gone; another week of separation and isolation from hi
family, friends and, in fact, the world. This fact had repeated
itself in Billy's mind until he could almost say it backwards. And
now, as he sat propped up in bed, waiting for his dinner, and thinkinJ
over the same afore-mentioned bit of news, he suddenly awoke to
the fact that tomorrow would, maybe, end his misery; that is, if the
Doctor could be prevailed upon to say "yes" if he meant "no" and
"no" if he meant that.
Billy was a boy, and a human one at that. And more, he was
thirteen. To some people, arriving at the age of thirteen, means
very little, but to Billy it had meant a great deal, for he had just
come to think and feel himself very important in the affairs of his
family. He was rather short, and inclined to fit the saying, "Fa t
and good-natured." His small, twinkly eyes could look at you
angelically one minute with his freckles, pug nose, and mouth continually grinning, all combining to make his being a perfect picturt'
of amiability, sugar weetness (that was almost too sweet) and friendliness. But the next! If woman is as changeable as the wind, then
Billy had a day in olorado where all kinds of weather are exhibited
at once, backed to the wall. There was one point in Billy's favor:
he never could hold a grudge against anyone longer than fifteen
minutes, and it was this which endeared him to everyone he met, saw,
or came in contact with.
He had been taken sick with scarlet fever five weeks ago, and
five weeks had passed in which he suffered miserably from the disease itself. but now he was suffering from a disease which comes to
meet convalescents, that of being in a tormenting, peevish. remorseful, teasing and angelic frame of mind all at once. Billy had
reached that stage. If those five weeks of sickness had meant much to
Billy, what had it meant for his mother and nurse? When he had

Just then Miss Rath came in with a basin of water.
"Aw, say, Ratsy, Iemme get up an' eat outa bed, won't you?
I'll do anything a' tall, Ratsy, go on," coaxed Billy in his most
wheedling voice.

�Ratsy smiled, but grasping at the aforesaid words of that
young gentleman to do anything she wanted, as a drowning person
grasps at a rope, she said quickly, "If I do, will you soak your feet
for a good half hour after a while?"

the stillness. Instantly the household was aroused.
Ratsy came
flying . Billy precipitated himself into the other room. Mother ran
to the wailing Ellen. The little girl was bent almost double, her
head was hanging, she was shaking it as if she had been stung by a
thousand bees.

"You bel!
ow come on, Ratsy, where's my slippers an'
my shirt an'" flinging back the bed covers with an arm fast
becoming strong and forceful, Billy began rummaging at the foot
end of the bed for his various apparel. After sending the winded
Ratsy on a dozen and one trips to the other room to help find first
his knife- he must have that to cut his orange-then his dressing
gown, and then something else he forgot to tell her the first time,
Billy was sitting in state again waiting for his dinner.

"What on earth's the matter, Ellen?" gasped mother, looking
askance at Ellen's head, a mass of curls that seemed forever inextricably glued together by a brownish, soft substance oozing in a
myriad of streams down her face.
"G-g-gravy, an' Billy," sobbed Ellen, in a despairing voice,
trying to wipe away the tears, thereby smearing her face all the
more. Billy upstairs broke into a gale of laughter. He had been
frightened for an instant, but now that no harm was done-"it only
got on Ellen's hair"-he had doubled up in a chair, laughing and
gasping in the most contagious manner possible. Then suddenly
his loud gaiety was checked by the loud ringing of the telephone bell.
Billy listened a minute almost breathlessly to the inflection of his
mother's voice over the phone, and then, with another giggle lost all
interest in the person on the phone.

In the other room was the dumb waiter, on which had been
~ent to him all his meals from the kitchen.
ow as he heard
rr.otl&gt;er put t~e steaming dishes on its shelves to send up, Billy had

an idea!
He would surprise Ratsy and pull up their dinner himself. He tiptoed into the other room, softly opened the door of the
dumb waiter chute, called down, "All right" in a high nasal voice,
which h&lt;' vainly tried to make like Ratsy's, and pulled.
Down stairs he heard Ellen say in an important tone, ''I'll see
that Ratsy gets it all right, mother," and Ellen poked her head up
the black hole to watch the disappearing trays. And just at this
moment came the inevitable. Billy never could tell how it happened, but in pulling he had shaken the "dummy" and the dishes
rattled. Then before his very eyes the dish containing that wonderful brown hot gravy spilled, and dish and all went dripping through
the narrow space that was between the dummy and the wall, and
landed on something decidedly human.

Ten minutes later he noticed a scrap of white paper under the
door. He stared at it, a questioning look in his twinkly eyes, then
walked slowly to the spot and picked it up.
In big scrawly letters
he found this epistle:
"Mr. Gravy-spiller: The Doctor told mother you still got the Bugs, an'
you didn't even know what a Bag was, an' you gotta stay m some more, an'
you'll be Awful Sorrie 'cause I'll never watch your dinner up that black hole
again, an' mother says jus' 'cause my hairs so sticky you gotta show me how to
whisll .
" 'Spec'fully an' your truli,

One horrible long and almost everlasting second of silence,
which seemed to Billy as if it never would end. just as he was
beginning to despair of ever hearing poor little Ellen's voice in this
world again, a piercing shriek, seemingly uttered by the god of oise
and Discord himself, which was followed by another, broke upon

- Ellen Mariella Warren ."

And Billy was sitting still, thinking.

In the year 191 6 the chool Board voted to e tabli h military
training in the high chools of Denver, and the United tales War
Department dispatched Lieut. William
aile, a graduate of We t
Point, and ergt. P. T. O'Toole of the regular army to organize
and drill the cadet corps of the various high school of Denver.
When it was learned that the long hoped for cadet corps was
to be no longer a mere dream, but at last a reality, the greatest enthusiasm was shown. Everyone was talking drills and army regulations.
quads of boys were making mysterious trips to the base
ment, where they endured various thumpings and pounding . went
through certain startling contortions under the supervi ion of hi

maje ty, the doctor, and were finally told that they were fit to join
thi organization . In spite of the fact that the organization of the
corps did not begin until the latter part of the school year, and that
each cadet had to agree to pay fifteen dollars for a uniform, more
than fifty boy "fell in" at fir l drill. Boys of every class in the
school were here, of e' ery height, and of every age, for this is no
"exclusive" organization, its only requirements being: physical fitness,
obedience, and trict attention to business.
At one of the fir t meetings held, Kate Chase was elected
sponsor for the company. As sponsor, M iss Chase is to all intents
and purposes an active member of the company, and ha a right to

Elizabeth Morning, Marie Melzer and Magnolia Pitts. The company also elected four men to act as its temporary leaders.
Now followed many drills in the early morning before school,
or in the evening after classes. Many times in heavy snow or sphs1ing mud, and nearly always in bitter cold, the company did it ~
"squads right column left." But the boys stayed with it; few were
ever absent at roll call, and finally there came a time when no one
tried to execute a "squads right" when "squads left" was given.

The Latin chool Cadets organized at the same time as did the
main building boys, with a roll call of fifty-nine members. Their
sponsor is Elizabeth Rendle. Regularly every Tuesday, Thursday
and Friday they come together for drill, and are fast shaping into the
best drilled squad in the city. Even now they have beaten the Main

a t Denver High, outh Denver High,

'entral ity and olorado prings constitute the Denver district of
the tate Debatmg League.
The fir t debate took place on January 12 when thi school
debated w1th outh Denver. The question wa : "Re olved, That
a Pohcy of hipping ubsid1e Be Adopted tn the
nited tales
merican Merchant
for the Encouragement and Protection of the
Marine." East upheld the negative side of the que tion. The
deci ion was 2-1 in favor of outh.
The lo s of the econd debate, a double-header, sounded the
death knell of our champion hip hopes.
olorado prings had e,tered the Denver di'1 ion at the Ia t moment. We were notified
of our double debate with them, contrary to schedule. Thi o
up et plan a to make a chool tr out practically impo ible. As
the ongres Debating ociety of this school had already arranged
for a pnvate debate with olorado prings, they represented East
in the state contest. Both d bate were held on the night of February 16. " ompulsory Military ervice" was the subject debated.
There wa a decision again t u in both places.
The third debate wa with Arvada, and East, a in the outh
debate, upheld the negative ide of the ub idy question.
Our
team was victoriou , winning a 2-1 decision. This debate put new
hope into the otherwise gloomy outlook.
Ea t again met outh in a double debate which closed the
state debating season. A the rvada victory evened the first outh
defeat so the unanimous East victory at both ends evened the Colorado pnng di aster. The que tion wa : "Re olved, That the
Federal Government hould Own and Operate All the Telegraph
and Telephone Lines." The home team upheld the affirmative side
while the team that went to outh Denver sustained the negative.
Though the sea on has not been as succe sful as some of us
may have wished, the students should remember that the "school
support," which is very necessary for the success of any team, was
at the beginning of the year very weak. To the effort of the
coache , Whitenack and Potter, and
s i tant
oach obol, the
succe of the teams i due.

"1 hose who part1c1pated m the vanous debates were: Carol
Brisbin, Dwight Morgans, Gustave Vogel, Milton Rabinowitz,
Milton Meyer, Byron ohn, Rollin Whitehead, Walter Rath, Harold Birnbaum, harl s Blakeney, harle Rosenbaum, Frank Dei ,

Th1 year marked the tenth annual debate between Pueblo,
aiion City, and D. H.
ongress. The question for debate
was: "Be It Resolved, That ompulsory Arbitration Be Adopted
in the United tales." Although this question was of national importance, and 'ery difficult to handle, both of our team presented
their re pective sides with great logic and fluency.
fter a hard
and brilliant debate, however, the judges decided in favor of our
opponents. The ongressmen who compo ed the team were: Hugh
L. King and ugene H. F reedheim, affirmative, Harold Birnbaum
and Howard Vickery, negative, and alos tratton, alternate.

On April I 3, 191 7, an East Denver team composed of Walter
Rath, Dwight Morgan and Gus Vogel, debated at Longmont with
a team from the High chool there on "Government Ownership of
the Telegraph and Telephone Lines." Longmont had very graciously trimmed the stage in East Denver colors. The team from
East Denver wa composed entirely of member of the Forum, who
supported the negative side and won the debate by a decision of
2-1. The night following Longmont sent a team here to debate
with our affirmative team, compo ed of Euge:Je Freedheim. Carlos
harles Ro enbaum, all of them member of Contratton and

work done by our boys.

ScENE: U. P. tracks near Brighton.
(Two tramps appear on horizon, walking the ties, one an ousted
stage manager, the other a rank barnstormer out of a job.)
Stage Manag er (carrying a heavy sack of gold on his back)
remarks lucratively, "Well, I claim this is not half bad, not half bad,
making all this money."
Barnstormer (with small mustache set at a rakish angle)-"We
certainly ought to have cleaned up a pile, as we had two good hou es,
thanks to the spirit of old East Denver."
Stage Manager-"And thanks to the 'pep' and hard work Mr.
Pitts donated to the good cause of making actors out of raw students."
Barnstormer (musing to himself) -"E leanor Handy certainly
did make some leading lady; s~e was so well adapted to the part of
' uzanne.' ''

Stage Mana&amp;er- " What's that you're mumbling?"
Barnslormer- " Don't you remember the great hunt for the
' crap of Paper' during t~e second act?"
Stage Manager- " Do I? And 'Madame de Ia Glaciere'
(Lydia Begole)? Her sob stuff had wonderful realism."
Barnslormer-"She was good, all right. And so was Willa
Ferris as 'Mathilde' when she was all dressed up in that riding
scenery.
Stage Manager-"And cute, too, I think. And of all wonders, Magnolia Pitts as 'Mademoiselle Zenobie' made an admirable
old maid."
Barnsiormer- " How she did keep 'Anatole' on the jump!
Mary Belle !~holson as 'Pauline' had some new and original ideas
about servants.
Stage M anager-"Yes, and if she had some 'Parisian Correspondents' I should not be surprised. But Hazel Miles as the prim
housekeeper, 'Madame Dupont,' certainly kept her in her place, between dusting the furniture and feeding the canary."
Barnslormer-"But when that monocled icicle, 'Baron de Ia

Glaciere' (Lucius Hoyt), came in, everybody in the house felt a
cold draft."
Stage Manager (softly and lightly) " 'Here Fidele.' Moreland Humphries as 'Brisemouche' was a gifted collector of curiosities,
which he collected from Mr. Cannon's cases."
Barnslormer-"Harold Wagner as 'Anatole' was a fast young
gentleman, but he fell for two bright eyes."
/age Manager-"What could you expect with such socks?
But he had nothing on Dan Cushley, who led a double life as
'Bapl!ste' and 'Francois' -faithful servants' parts, which he fitted
to a 'T'."
Barnslormer-"What was that disturbance between acts?"
Stage Manager- "Why, that was the high school orchestra
rendering pleasing and popular selections to the delight of the
audience."
Barnslormer- "What are you going to do with that sack of
gold you're dragging around?"
Stage Manager- "Why, Congress and Min erva are going to
present that to t~e school to create a fund for debating and other
literary activities."
Barnslormer-"Good enough; but it seems to me there is something we left out."
Stage Manager-" Didn't I see you adorning the stage?"
Deep silence on the part of the barnstormer.
Stage Managcr-"Yes it was you. You can't hide it from me.
You portrayed the part of 'Prosper.'
ay, you were handsome li 1&lt;e
Bushman-when you were made up. But in ~pite of your looks,
you made a good leading man.
Barnslormer-"Aw! have a heart! You're a fir.e scene shifter,
but as a critic---! Yet all in all, it was a fine story and they
played it well. And, what's more, it was a great financial success,
even if the price was reduced to 15 cents. Perhaps you know something about that; how about it?"
Deep and prolonged silence.

�TO AN INK-WELL

When East began at 9:00 o'clock,
With books beneath my arm
hastened promptly into school
And never came to harm.

ow, little ink-well, don't you sighWe're hard on you I know,
For the paper wads
And bits of chalk
Have filled and choked you so;
But wait 'till our school days go byNow, little ink-well, don't you sigh.

But since they cut my morning hour
Far shorter than I sought,
Just at the time I need it most,
I can't do half I ought.

Now, little ink-well, don't you sighYou're sorely grieved I know,
'Cause the tricks we did
And your broken lid
Did vex your patience so;
But you'll get a new lid by and byNow, little ink-well, don't you sigh.

nd now it's always, "Hurry up,
Here comes the eight-ten car;
Don't stop for any breakfast,
But go just as you are."
And if I don't get the car
On that speedy eight-ten trip,
I can't get in my home room
Without a little slip.

ow, little ink-well, don't you sighWe have been unfair, I know;
You've served so well
For quite a spell;
And when we're gone we'll miss you so;
But just you wait-behave we'll tryNow, little ink-well, don't you sigh.

So trouble dogs my footsteps
Wherever I may go.
They say the good old times were best,
And that is truly so.

Won't be taken for a weed patch.

The noon bell toll the knell of tedious work,
The rising crowd runs swiftly through the hall,

In the pring the sporty ophomores
Blossom out in purple shoes,

In the reds, or grays, or blues.

My purse not one small penny does it hold
ave one lone coin with which I mean to buy

In the spring the joyous Juniors
Evolute some meanness new;
Keep things moving 'till the poor Profs.
Don't know what to think or do.

Beneath that lofty roof. that structure fine,
Where grows the mind in many a learned path,
My sen es for the longed-for fish-cakes pine,

Feel the weight of coming care
Hope the world will hold together
'Till they take control out there.

Full many a cake with chocolate frosting made,
The lunchroom stove has baked with greatest care;
Full many a sauce on finest pudding laid,
With pleasant odors fill the basement air.

In the spring the tired Professor
Grade exams, all kinds galore;
Fails asleep upon the paper Wakes to find school is no more.

Far from the noisy crowds' much envied meat

�WHE

WE MEET TO SAY GOOD-BY

Amid the rush and hurry of the parties and the fun,
With plans for graduation and the honors to be won,
There comes a lonely whisper, and it echoes with a sigh,
For the time is drawing nearer when we'll meet to say good-by.
Four long years we've worked together long they seemed, day after
day,
But to us now looking backward Oh! how soon they slipped away!
And our bonds each with the other, held in friendship's closest tie,
Will be hard to break at parting-when we meet to say good-by.
Many happy days we've spent here, and the few we can recall
That were sad and full of trouble now seem, strangely, best of all;
For they knit us close together with a sympathetic eye
That will make us long to linger-when we meet to say good-by.
But we must not tarry longer, for we each have heard the call,
And we're ready for life's battle with its chance to fight or fall;
And the thoughts of dear East Denver that within us deeply lie
Will make the parting sweeter-when we must say good-by.

I N'T IT?

Even we girls of East Denver High
Have felt war's oppression so great,
If you will believe it 'tis sad, but true,
We've come to a terrible fate.
Our brave, bold companions, the boys of our class,
Have decided war's heroes to be,
o they're leaving to shoulder the rake and the spade
In numbers alarming to see.
They want to be farmers and help raise the crops
That are going this nation to feed;
\Ve must watch them go with a smile on our face,
Although we bewail them, indeed!
For on that great night, when we all graduate,
'Twill be such a sad sight to see

A "Young Ladies' eminary."

THE BA QUET WE DIDN'T EAT
The class day party was over,
And slowly we walked down the street,
Pensively and dreamily,
Thinking of good things to eat.
"The banquet was fine," said my friend to me;
"Such wonderful consomme!
And that chicken patty- I can taste it yet."
And the child smiled blissfully.
I looked at my friend in amazement.
Was the poor girl losing her mind?
"What do you mean? I saw no patty,
0 consomme so fine."
But now again she was raving
In that same delirious way.
he's in Pueblo now, poor girl!
And there forever she'll stay.

�1J1rom tijr Annual ~narb 1i ~tanbpnint

It has been the policy of the Annual Board to introduce as
many new ideas as possible into the 191 7 Annual. The members of
the Board have become experts in messenger service; they are worthy
of positions as editorial writers on the
ew York Times; and they
might set up a photographic studio and make plenty of money. They
have worked o' nights and used study hours to turn out the best book
possible. If the under classes don't like it as it is, they can try to
make a better one next year. If the Seniors object, it was their fault
for electing such a Board. However, the editors are human, and they
probably have made gross blunders of the worst sort, but they ask to
be pardoned, and would like to suggest that if these errors are too bad
for your sensitive eye, a blot of ink is an excellent eradicator. As a
last resort it may do your feelings good to vent them on the Board,
and if this is the case, write us a letter; and, if you want an answer,
enclose a stamped, addressed envelope, and we will attempt to mollify
your feelings toward us with plenty of good excuses.

We of the Annual Board wish to take this opportunity to thank
the following individually and collectively, without who e help this
book could not have been published:
Miss Kennan, who has given us much of her time in correcting
manu cript; Mr. Reed, for his supervision of the finances of the
Annual and his management of the" kate"; Mr. Newland, who has
read and corrected the proof; Dart Wantland, for typewriting all of
our copy ; ] ack Chapman, for taking the pictures of most of the committees and boards; Miss Woodson, for her help in the art department; Mr. Barrell and the rest of the faculty for their hearty cooperation; and finally the student body as a whole, that has given
such loyal and cordial support.
